Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday said air traffic controllers are returning to work.
"So just for comparison on, on Saturday we had 81 staffing triggers," said Duffy. "Today we have four. So I think our air traffic controllers are seeing an end to the shutdown and, feel more hopeful and they're coming into their facilities. So we're grateful to them for all that they're doing."
He also agreed with President Trump that those who never left should be rewarded.
"The air traffic controllers who didn't miss a day, they came for every scheduled shift that they had. They should get a bonus," said Duffy. "They should come to the White House and he [Trump] should present them with their checks."
