Air traffic controllers, technicians with perfect attendance in shutdown to get $10,000 bonuses, FAA says
� Close to 800 air traffic controllers and technicians with perfect attendance during the more than 40-day shutdown will get $10,000 cash bonuses, the FAA and DOT said.
� An increase in absences among air traffic controllers during the shutdown, the longest ever, snarled air travel around the U.S.
� Controllers were required to work during the shutdown even though they weren�t receiving regular paychecks.
