Short Final
I was flying just northeast of Dallas on Monday, April 22. This was the first day of sequester-induced cutbacks of controllers. Fort Worth Center:“King Air 12345, cleared direct FINGR for the FINGR3 arrival.” King Air 12345:“Cleared direct FINGR.” Fort Worth Center:“They told us not to give any shortcuts today, but I don’t see any way to do it except to give you the finger.” I was laughing too hard to hear the King Air’s reply.

Fort Worth Center:
"King Air 12345, cleared direct FINGR for the FINGR3 arrival."
King Air 12345:
"Cleared direct FINGR."
Fort Worth Center:
"They told us not to give any shortcuts today, but I don't see any way to do it except to give you the finger."
