Budget uncertainty has been the norm for most federal agencies for several years in a row now. But the Federal Aviation Administration has suffered more than most. Long before the days of sequestration, the FAA had already gone through several years of short-term agency reauthorizations that kept its funding and programmatic priorities largely in limbo.
