By David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg warned on Wednesday that a partial government shutdown could disrupt air travel and said the government would need to furlough 1,000 air traffic controllers in training. If Congress does not fund government operations before Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates it would have to furlough more than 17,000 employees and halt the training. 'Especially when it comes to transportation, the consequences would be disruptive and dangerous,' Buttigieg said at a press conference.
