Senate votes to end air traffic furloughs
The US Senate late last night unanimously passed a bill to end the furloughs of air traffic controllers that caused thousands of delays at airports across the country this week.

As part of the sequestration effort to cut the federal budget, employees of the Federal Aviation Administration were asked to take one unpaid furlough day every two weeks, effectively cutting the number of air traffic controllers on duty by 10% each day.
