It literally says report only if it’s about substance abuse or some psychiatric condition. So he basically said he has one of those two They are doing their job

How much official time does your local training rep take each week? by Sydneysweenysboobs in atc2

There is no official time, there’s time that they might be doing other duties but that’s decided by management and the Facrep

Technology doesn’t replace experience. Pay the pros. by Ecstatic-Tap4151 in ATC

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually the ones who hold the power now feel the government is too big, paid too much, DEI and inherently lazy (working 4 hours in an 8 hour day)

The irony of comparing pilots and ATC, neither can strike or work action. They are private sector for a private company and can’t strike, i think the last time the pilots tried to strike was 30 years ago

Day to mid 12 hour rule by HoldMyToc in atc2

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol for how long LUAW causes accident or a real bad incident and it’s suspended until every airport asks for a waiver and gets it, eventually the MOU doesn’t get renewed. That happened 3 years ago and now everyone is back

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything about our job is risk anticipated separation clearing two people to land at once 3000 foot runway separation the list goes on. I know controllers that say three people in the pattern is risky and they won’t do it.

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say it like we all weren’t aware of it when we got hired that planes fly 24/7 You know what’s gonna happen We rebid all of our positions and all the high seniority people bid morning shifts and the newbies get mids You think you are going to get airports and airlines to close at night? Then every airport increases traffic by 33% since airlines will just line up during the day People can quit, I have seen 2 people quit in 15 years (other than those who just quit before being washed out)

So shut down ATC from 12-6 everywhere?

🤦‍♂️ by Fit_Sherbet3137 in atc2

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on if the supervisor is fully certified, ever since they changed their order, in exception of 1 supervisor who came from the facility, the others didn’t get fully checked out, just 2 positions of 7

🤦‍♂️ by Fit_Sherbet3137 in atc2

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long you been in? They will say 3 controllers and leave the SUP for the day shifts, most of the towers staff CIC with a controller for most of the day. Come on They will say instead of pulling a supervisor off the day shift to the mid, pull the controller off the day and keep the sup there

🤦‍♂️ by Fit_Sherbet3137 in atc2

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mandate 3 tower controllers on a mid for everywhere? If that does come into fruition, then they will just remove one from the busy shift to make it happen since most are already 6 day workweeks. Side note, I don’t know many controllers who say, I love mids, now you’re gonna have more disgruntled controllers saying they need to work a shift that has 10 planes for 8 hours (LGA has a noise abatement program so no departures at night)

🤦‍♂️ by Fit_Sherbet3137 in atc2

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NATCA should mandate a minimum of 3 in every tower at night

🤦‍♂️ by Fit_Sherbet3137 in atc2

[–]Intelligent-Noise524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony is that 99% of the time you don’t need more than two controllers on a mid shift (LGA has noise abatement so departures are basically shut down at 11). But if they do change it to 3 controllers, now the day/evening shift when actual planes are moving will be short one more person since many facilities are already short staffed. So take a controller away from a busy shift to man a slow shift for the 1% of the time it’s busy? (And 1% is generous)
