Part 3/6:
Delving deeper into the potential consequences, Delta outlined how a shutdown could disrupt various services in Hawaii. While essential services—like those provided by first responders and TSA agents—will continue to operate, workers in these sectors would not receive their paychecks during the shutdown. This situation is especially dire as the holiday season approaches, potentially affecting federal employees' ability to provide for their families.
Furthermore, federally operated tourist locales, such as Haleakalā National Park, may close due to staff furloughs. While certain payments, like Social Security benefits, would still be processed, Delta cautioned that reaching service centers might prove challenging due to operational limitations.
