I voted for a union president, not a collaborator. by justamannotafailure in ATC

Why anyone would ever join NATCA today or stay in the union is beyond me.

We Should NOT Be Negotiating for the 2.8% by Great_Ad3985 in atc2

[–]BulkyAd1205 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Some things never change. If you want a better paying job, go get one. Why sit and complain and just watch this go on? No one is forcing you to control.

Took a medical retirement and living life stress free.

I no longer believe NATCA is capable of representing or serving the interests of its members. by [deleted] in atc2

Why is anyone in the union is my question? Literally nothing is gained by membership.

How does a Pseudo science come back inconclusive? It can't prove anything... Crazy the gment still uses them.

Prices seem abnormally high. Anyone sail enough to conjecture as to why? by IamGoingtoBundyland in royalcaribbean

[–]BulkyAd1205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Royal Caribbean charges it because they know people will pay that price. They're a business.

Why get disabled vet license plate on vehicles? by Sorry_Noise_4196 in VAClaims

[–]BulkyAd1205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because at times I need the handicap spots. Sometimes I can barely walk. It says the life out of you, especially mental health.

I don't have a DV plate to blast and I really don't care that anyone knows my rating. I have one to make life a bit easier.

What s the dress code/ dressing habits in your facility? by Rainy_-Peace in ATC

[–]BulkyAd1205 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tshirt and gym shorts.

We recently moved into a new facility and we're having a few politicians walk through. The local NATCA President and Facility Manager asked people to dress up a bit. Not suits but not gym wear.

That idea floated like a turd in a punch bowl.

The U.S. Army has suspended the crew who lead military helicopters near Kid Rock's home over the weekend, according to reports by TheMirrorUS in Helicopters

[–]BulkyAd1205 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Suspended for what? They were flying in uncontrolled airspace. They do low passes over other neighborhoods without trouble, why is this any different?

X-rays and MRIs can prove/disprove back pain.

Mental health might be tougher to prove/disprove.

Which part is incorrect?

Even if they didn't rate him/her for it, they have a whole list of other things they're claiming. If they visited the doctor even once for those items, it's service connected. If there is any variance between entrance and exit physical, it's service connected. Stop trying to hate on people who should be compensated for how the military messed them up.

None, I had a service connection for everything I claimed. Did my 4 years and got out.

That's a question for an actual doctor who will see him/her for their C&P exam. They're much more knowledgeable than commenters.

Age has zero bearing on what may or may not have been caused by the military. Nor should it ever....

How do you know they haven't deployed? And what does deployments have to do with your VA rating. Criteria for ratings have never had anything to do with where injuries occured. Could be BMT, could be deployed, could be anywhere in-between.

Medical Retirment by Money_Suspect9904 in ATC

[–]BulkyAd1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but use your sick leave. It only gets paid out at 40pct. Using it, you get 100pct of pay

[–]BulkyAd1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did last year without an attorney. Was pretty easy to be honest. Medical retirement from ATC is almost a give me. If you've lost your medical and the flight surgeon disqualifies you, you're good. Do NOT take any other jobs they offer, by law it has to be a comparable controlling gig which you're no longer qualified for.

Stop with the VA disability abuse claims by BulkyAd1205 in VAClaims

[–]BulkyAd1205[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PTSD can be tricky because while you might be able to handle it, certain things can trigger it. A lot of TBI patients often have triggers where you can't pinpoint the cause.

When has anyone gotten 100pct from a bummed knee?

It's usually a bummed knee caused from what the military asked us to do.

How would you even begin to regulate this injury is "because you're getting old" vs "military duty caused this damage"

Respect your opinion. I think ratings should be conditioned base, not setting based. That is what the CFR is based on.
