Trump stated he will recommend a $10,000 bonus for air traffic controllers who "didn't take ANY TIME OFF" during the government shutdown. This market resolves YES if the bonus is actually paid to eligible controllers. Resolution will be determined by official FAA or Department of Transportation announcements confirming payment of the $10,000 bonus, or by verified reports from multiple credible news sources documenting that controllers have received the funds. The market resolves NO if the bonus is not paid in the next three months (market close: 2026-02-11), or if official statements indicate the bonus will not be implemented.
Update 2025-11-28 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The market close date has been corrected to February 11, 2026 (originally entered as November 2nd by accident). This aligns with the three-month timeframe mentioned in the resolution criteria.
1,000The FAA announced bonuses to be paid to 776 air traffic controllers who did not miss a single day of work during the shutdown, which does actually seem to align with Trump's "ANY TIME OFF" announcement.
@spiderduckpig Interesting! I would not have expected that from this administration. I do not bet on my own markets if I suspect difficult resolutions, but had I done so, I would have bet against this
