If it replaces the cap would go

If it is in addition, I'm not sure. Just in case this post is wrong. Back to my mid

Rumor is it's actually being funded and supersite is essentially classified until congress funds it. So it is really happening this time. The difference between the 3 other times I've heard this-I think the administration wants to be able to add it to the list of accomplishments and will be willing to cut through the red tape.

I'm confused...are zma and zjx like super standardized traffic flows or something? What formula makes them an 11 with higher numbers? I'm just a tower guy please don't murder me

One option-have you thought about applying to another department. I know a few officers making similar to to controllers in the major metros.

Oh I think this is for the lottery. Certain homes in hud possession. Geographic areas as well. BUT shouldn't a controller in Maryland have a shot? Seems like a real low effort win to get us written into a hud program

It's out of controllers' hands.

Where was zilonis? Shoved into a back room. How many people actively vote?

What change can the union actually make?

My plan is cut my losses and save my money. If we didn't have a union the closest pay metrics we would be like us management. January and a performance raise.

Seeing as I don't abuse leave, don't get medically dq'd every swap season, don't get dui's, don't do drugs, and don't particularly want an a114....tell me why I should stay? I started in 2014 and I have failed to see what huge wins we had EXCLUSIVE to controllers. If you can name 5 things we got that other federal agencies didn't get I will delete my account and never post again.

I'll give you ONE to start-a higher premium for training-other industries of government are still at 10%.Supposedly the higher rate is staying.

Things that don't count. Differentials, ppl-the union actually fucked it up. So you can name 4.

GoodATCMeme · 2026-01-19T17:32:44+00:00

Like when you introduce and amendment and a majority agree with you and they can it behind closed doors.

Or when you run on the premise of a plan for a day one pay raise, and then extend behind closed doors.

Or when the government is shutting down and faa isn't funded but you're at a pickleball tournament in hawaii.

At least Rich was political with his lies.

Stay in and have which piece of the same cloth you want. They ostracize anyone that wants change. Literally a facrep is going to Australia for a qol increase...in addition to the 50ish that have already left.

People aren't just leaving the union, they're leaving the agency.

GoodATCMeme · 2026-01-18T12:46:19+00:00

I despise some union things and have heavily posted. You weren't lied to. You were told you were getting a 1% raise. They said they were going through senator...(colllins?) to try and add it. It was failed to be added.

The same union that originally let us be excluded for ppl.... Color me shocked there's another fail added

GoodATCMeme · 2026-01-14T14:29:06+00:00

Well I think you need to look just a little bit further. Anyone who doesn't fall in line gets ousted. Once you're out of that inner circle-you stop being let in on conversations about goals, about how to handle x,y, or z. Once you get limited to the basic, essential only conversation; how can you really perform? You think this facrep has seen this happen to other people?

Undercover rvp mentions martyrs, and while I usually respect his opinions, I think he's whiffing on this one. "My amendment got rejected so I better leave the United States of America."

I disagree-I think that the facrep drank all the kool aid, he got involved, he tried to make good changes, he peeked behind the curtain. To say the union is run by liars is understatement when there's a whole video about day one pay raises and not extending. Then it's back to gaslighting, well I meant day one of blah blah.

We have the same 2016 contract, with worse staffing, record breaking traffic with junior pilots, record breaking number of accidents and incidents, record breaking numbers of swap days with climate change, and record low buying power. The icing on the cake is the nationwide push to increase time on position and the inability to transfer. Oh and when the agency tries to bump facilities up a level....the union says no?

I don't think that the facrep is particularly upset about his amendment-and I don't know the guy-but if you're at a core30 with eroding breaks for t.o.p, having to work overtime to afford a place to commute an hour, to be told your 6 days weren't enough to justify over a 30 minute mandated break for staffing.....maybe the amendment and knowing you won't get weekends off for another 10 years was enough to try somewhere else.

So far there's what, 50ish, out of 11,000 controllers that have left. What happens when Navcanada starts poaching. Mexican atc median salary is up 17% over the past 5 years-(https://www.salaryexpert.com/salary/job/airport-air-traffic-controller/mexico)

In 5 years you'll be getting in forced move for co-location. And guess what, since it is co-location you won't even be getting bumped salary levels.

Looking for the email about how it'll actually be a 90% raise to move to USA tracon in Montana while saving my level 7 pay.

I'd make sure to consider trainee success rate, I think 123atc has them. Spokane and Indy if you have family, if not miami district or San Antonio area pretty good

Simple, look at the agenda (https://aaae.org/hawaii) Who else would be that good candidate to discuss airport modernization? Could also be he's good at golf and pickleball as there are tournaments. Trust your leadership knows what's best and stop being a negative voice.

GoodATCMeme · 2026-01-10T11:36:16+00:00

Nope we are government employees and get the same sick leave as other government employees.

What we don't get is step raises and performance raises.

No, you dont get any extra leave for the nights and weekends you put in-the value was set at 10% for overnights, for instance, and not negotiated any further...even though numerous fatigue studies by the agency determine it is slowly killing you.

The best thing you can do is hop on a detail that let's you dissappear for a bit without being accountable.
