The Federal Aviation Administration’s unprecedented order to scale back flights nationwide because of the record-long government shutdown is set to take effect Friday morning.

The 40 airports selected by the FAA span more than two dozen states and include hubs such as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the order.

In some metropolitan areas, including New York, Houston, Chicago and Washington, multiple airports will be impacted, while the ripple effects could reach smaller airports as well.

    LOL. My company had a hugely important flight to get valuable business rolling for tomorrow morning. Months and months of countless hours from a good 100 bunch of good guys and gals. Then some asshole from the government just has to chime in.

    But I’m having karaoke night. No worries. We’ll get over this shit.
