Yeah, this is the most parsimonious explanation:
Hegseth is an utter fool who thinks the military is about "fighting wars" and wishy-washy libtard stuff like keeping the civil authorities in the loop is useless fluff, so he axed the civilian liaison roles. And FAA runs on the precautionary principle ("avoid putting airliners at risk"). So the shutdown only got rolled back when it was escalated to Kegbreath's desk and he said "WTF? Not Like that!!"
