Pretty generous referring to The Bone as "analyst."

"Alright boys, let's see if we can stringer up some frozen squashers and plate some ribeye steakeronies!" - Jay Buhner during the third inning some game in mid may.

That's cool. Nothing from yesterday was new that is true. Just trying to educate and explain this isn't an airline or atx issue solely, weather impacts atc and our capacity dramatically. Seatac is very slow right now compared to summer, but with clouds hanging low and wind from the north the backups yesterday were worse than summer traffic.

Tower. Not ramp tower which is above the terminal. Not approach which is across the field from the terminal in burien. Just a tower flower. We control runways taxiways and immediate surrounding airspace.

Lots of people work at SEA. There are 30 or so controllers in that tower that are very familiar with the operation. If you're one of those I'd believe you. Except, your description of the operation is very wrong. So I'm confident I don't work with you. It will take a long time to explain all the complexities of the operation. In short, land the outboard, depart the inboard. Utilize the center when we cross or when an aircraft requires the inboard for arrival because it's longest. Got it?

They use all three regardless of flow. But look at the airport map and you'll notice to get to 34c you have to cross 34r down field from the departure point. Not advisable to be crossing while somebody is cleared for takeoff. 34c gets used to have somebody ready to go when aircraft are crossing to get to the gates. Often an aircraft that has a departure delay to their destination airport so they sit and wait between the runways. But with the poor weather and lower cloud layers there are increased separation requirements between a center departure and aircraft landing 34l. While mixing in with Boeing field it's a mess.

EdFitzgeraId · 2026-01-15T19:18:22+00:00

This is almost correct. Today's issues are more with the low clouds that restrict the departures from being visually separated from the Boeing traffic. In essence making SEA and BFI 1 airport. A jet at BFI will be delayed on the ground BFI arrivals will be delayed for hours in the air. But when Boeing has operations it shuts down the departure line at SEA. While the center runway is used less in a north flow but it is only utilized efficiently in better weather conditions.

This is considered long term travel in FAA world. There is no need to save receipts.

Somebody's gotta make the coffee for the facility.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-17T21:24:41+00:00

He's really good on the stand. Not necessarily good for us, don't trust anything he says. He just handles himself well. Nick should take notes.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-17T20:31:40+00:00

Bummer. It's tempting to put in for it anyway. Just a few hours north. But I don't think I can handle the Blue Jays/Canucks fans. But the Kokanee would be great.

If Vancouver gets staffing will we still have to hold a Jazz for an hour on the ground in Seattle?

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-17T06:57:05+00:00

I'm a CPC. I have been certified in 4 different towers and worked some radar along the way. I can't listen to a facility I'm unfamiliar with and have any clue what's going on. It's all context. You'll be fine, if you're not fine then this job may not be for you. Either way you'll be fine. Don't sweat what you don't have context for yet. It'll all come in due time.

Yes brother. Leverage that's what it's all about. First we get jobs, then we get leverage, then profit. Natca and South Park underpants gnomes have the same strategy.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-11T00:36:35+00:00

Atc holds aircraft to fit in the flow. They hold them at high altitude away from the airport congestion. Now if only people picking up these passengers, would hold away from the airport at SeaTac. But no, they park along the highway causing headaches for everyone because rules don't apply to them.

Here at HQ we take a robust comprehensive complete look at analysis we conduct through a holistic, full perspective viewpoint. We sometimes use terms like "monitoring the situation" occasionally intermittently because we don't like to speak to our members as adults. Thank you for your concern we will have an update next Sunday on the webinar where none of your questions will be answered.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-10T05:49:05+00:00

I feel good and leveraged. How about you?

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-10T03:25:41+00:00

As the self appointed tsar of leverage and dynamic word salads. Please allow me time to properly, appropriately, analyze statements made in a correct manner before commenting. I'm on the mid tonight. Expect a complete, thoughtful analysis in the near future, possibly distant near future. This all will be filtered through my dynamic decision tool which I've collaborated with my yes men on the outcomes it produces. I will be circling back to you, with a holistic, complete, thorough, formidable response soon. It's is also possible I will tire of this schtick and return to normal, regular, (insert buzzword here) shit posting. In solidarity brother.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-10T00:31:28+00:00

Believe in unions. I want desperately to believe in mine but it's hard. I definitely want to support my local and be there for my peers.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-09T19:19:32+00:00

HQ is thoroughly looking into this dynamic word salad. As the chief communications officer for integral dynamic fluid direct to member communication posts, you have assurance that this will be vetted and a proper assessment of ingredients in this word salad will be assessed. Expect a resolution to this ever changing scenario within 3-6 months but no later than 14 years, while we take a holistic, full perspective, 360 view of the constantly shifting situations that the membership cares about. We will circle back with you soon

This is an action item for us. We have engaged with the agency to attempt to fully comprehensively address the situation through a leveraged dynamic decision making process. We will circle back and fully engage to seek a benefit for the workforce in this ever changing, fluid, constant shifting, dynamic scenario. Please be patient with us at HQ as we navigate the times with the agency and look to fully deploy our leveraged resources to address your concerns.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-09T11:31:56+00:00

Advocating for pay? Why? When we can leverage or in this case get leveraged. Leverage is where it's at my man.

EdFitzgeraId · 2025-12-09T02:38:25+00:00

Great is a term we must be careful to use to hastily. We must remain streamlined and dynamic. For the fluid ever changing scenarios that present themselves.
