Furloughed FAA worker Mark DePlasco talks Congress stalemate

Roughly 4,000 full-time employees from the Federal Aviation Administration are on furlough this week because Congress did not come to an agreement to extend its funding before the 5-week Congressional vacation.

Mark DePlasco, manager of the Terminal Requirements Team for the FAA, is one of the workers who has been furloughed.

DePlasco talks with Ali Velshi on American Morning today to talk about how the shutdown is effecting both his colleagues and himself and to weigh in if the employee shortage poses a potential safety threat to customers.
