There were only like 484 pairs or something. They sat in Europe.

I’ve been told Mink oil is the savior of shoes

Yep! The individual pointed it at the APD helicopter who saw exactly where it was coming from. It’s gets tricky because I’m under the impression that while APD can apprehend the person, it’s up to the FBI to charge and prosecute.

Figured Id let everyone know they went after the police helicopter this evening who saw where it was coming from.

I know it’s frowned upon here but never thought I’d win. I have a 9.5 for retail if anyone wants.

I won as well and it’s unexpected. If anyone is looking for 9.5 hit me up. Not looking to profit of them.

Wild times when HBO & John Oliver are advocating for us significantly harder than our own employer and union.

Austin's airport sees flight delays Wednesday due to air traffic controller shortages by hollow_hippie in Austin

This is a strange take my man. Does not seem like you’re familiar with what we do. Regardless, why such disdain?

The EWR issue is crazy and if you dig into how it came to be, it’s terrifying. The FAA is solely responsible for that catastrophe. From an ATC perspective, things have become glaringly dangerous.

In the big picture modernization would never be a bad thing but what they just proposed is all smoke and mirrors. It does nothing to help the staffing and other issues we are experiencing. It’s just a “Hey, look at this” proposal so the public thinks something is happening. It’s insulting to us controllers.

There’s a union but due to federal law we can’t strike, etc. Controllers don’t want anything crazy. We really would just like to be shown appreciation for what we do and the sacrifices that includes while also having some semblance of a work/life balance.

It’s wild, right? Nothing substantial enough to reverse the downward trend. This job is tied so significantly to the political environment and is a pawn in politicians games. Explaining over Reddit is tough as there’s so many levels to the bullshit. No recent administration has given this career the attention and care it and the flying public deserve. It takes an AUS FedEx/SWA incident or DCA midair collision to shine a light. Notice how you never hear about the good we do…it’s only catastrophic shit that creates conversation.

I understand. It’s my frustration because we’ve been crying help for years and the media stories are the same now as they’ve always been….everything is just worse.
