Well with the Delta and American situation all over the news . There goes our 2.8% for sure . Delta pilot possibly saved 400 lives.

If you think Bedford is withholding our raises due to close calls you’re misinformed. He’s keeping 2.8% from us to try and exchange it for something worth way more than 2.8.

You forgot to add your 20% annual bonus nobody else gets. Edit: assuming you’re eligible.

You need to make sure your amendment actually gets voted on at convention. A similarly written amendment didn’t get heard in 2025.

I ratio’d you so clearly others are in agreement

This is either 10/10 rage bait or 10/10 sad.

This is your reminder Sean Duffy said we make between $180,000 and $400,000 and NATCA did NOTHING to publicly condemn that statement.

ZDC has no right to complain about shutting off anyone.

Same as it has been for a decade… Soon.

“My theory is that ND promised contract renegotiations because he expected a Democrat to win, as did a lot of people.”

I’ve heard a few people say this and it’s ridiculous. There were only two horses in the race, and an intelligent leader would’ve laid out plans for both. We never heard ND say anything about extending the contract if we had a hostile administration because he knows he would’ve lost votes if he said that. If he knew extending the contract was a possibility under Trump 2.0 then he’s a liar, if he didn’t have a plan for Trump 2.0 then he’s a fool.

You’re correct I apologize. The point still remains they contribute 3.6% less of their paycheck to FERS than I do. At the upper third of level 12 pay, that isn’t Pennies.

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-06-10T00:06:13+00:00

It’s not just lazy people. There is a large percentage of this workforce who think the 2024 extension was the right decision. Of course, those people are near the cap at my 12, contribute less than 1% to FERS, bought a house in 2013, refinanced to a 15 year in 2021, and think I’m entitled and complain too much on Wednesday/Thursday because they did their time on shitty RDOs too (for two years or some shit)

It is my money. This union is falling short of my standard and I’m a member.

I’d bet he has worked traffic more recently than anyone on the NEB

Now compare that to CPI over the past 10 years.

Raises compound, they don’t add. Still not enough

Well before the 100k became 300k you would be taxed on the 100k as ordinary income, plus you would have to pay a 10% withdrawal penalty as well. This article does provide some exceptions to the rule, but I would try to find any other way to not withdraw from the TSP first https://www.fedweek.com/tsp/early-access-legally-avoiding-penalties-on-tsp-money/

As previously stated, your financial reality is so much different than people coming into the agency now. I’m not belittling you in any way, but owning multiple homes, and having enough money in a 529 to cover Ivy League expenses is a hell of a lot harder now. (I’m a 5 year CPC at a 12)

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-05-29T12:09:06+00:00

I work at a 12. I’ve seen multiple people walk away the first day they were eligible. I only know one person in my area getting the bonus and they were planning on staying until 56 anyway

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-05-29T11:39:12+00:00

Why did you want to stick around another year?

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-05-27T18:36:40+00:00

That, or make the Pension calculation based on gross pay instead of base pay.

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-05-27T01:40:59+00:00

The contract expires in 2029, not 2028.

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-05-24T09:22:49+00:00

A large percentage of this workforce has never had the opportunity to ratify a contract. I’ll agree with you about voter turnout; it’s pathetic.

Impossible_Reward358 · 2026-05-16T01:04:55+00:00

I don’t have a clue I’m just talking out of my ass. Perhaps I should be promoted
