Furlough notices went out to FAA employees today. Multiply this by many towers across the country:
"The effects of automatic budget cuts hit more than 220 Federal Aviation Administration employees in the Las Vegas Valley on Tuesday. They are among 47,000 nationwide who have 15 days to respond to furlough notices and tell their supervisors which days they will take unpaid leave from April through September.
Managers were informed Monday that furlough notices would be sent to the FAA workforce via email or certified mail beginning Tuesday, triggering a 15-day clock to respond and let supervisors know the 11 days - one per pay period - they will take off without pay beginning April 7 through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year."
Furloughs include 100% of operations employees. Nobody is exempt."

Just taking a guess and using this website of Federal Employee salaries, that's about what, a 4.5% to 5% pay cut for you? Doesn't seem to be that much of a sacrifice. I think you'll be just fine.
