Think Progress wrote GOP Shuts Down FAA To Aid Delta’s Anti-Union Efforts, Delta Collects Millions In Extra Profits. "House Republicans shut down the FAA over their insistence that any bill to reauthorize the agency also include an anti-union provision that would make it harder for employees at airlines and railroads to organize. One of the biggest corporate proponents of this anti-union provision is Delta Airlines, which has been fighting for years to stave off unionization (and is currently under investigation for tampering with union elections)."
Due to the shutdown the FAA can't collect various taxes on plane tickets, so the airlines, including Delta are pocketing them (they raised their prices the amount of the taxes).
