1. always said that

Shut it all down. People don't notice but people are working to provide government services without pay right now.

2. Airports are not federal facilities, under what authority would they be shut down?

The FAA and air traffic controllers are financed by user fees paid by airlines and passengers.

And that is the direct word from the union.
