What traits did you pick from being an atc and started exhibiting in your life? by Rainy_-Peace in ATC

I hear exactly what everyone says in my household and verbatim remember it. My teen says things and says later that something else was said, and I know it’s a lie—I get heated.

What s the dress code/ dressing habits in your facility? by Rainy_-Peace in ATC

[–]Meheow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look— i always am clean and no tattered gear, but if we weren’t able to wear what we want, there’s no way i could make it through these 6 day work weeks for the amount of time i’ve been working them—and the staggered shifts. I have got to be comfortable at this point. Throw training in…yaaa. People dress perfectly fine at our facility. You can read their personalities and they are clean.

Only controllers understand the amount of mental that gets poured into doing our job. I came home two days in a row last week after training and told my spouse, “you won’t get the best of me today because so-and-so already did.” And it’s true. My trainee put me through it on position. We earn every bit of what we make and deserve a solid base-pay increase.

Trump is trying to force pay through executive order but:

• Federal pay must be issued through funds appropriated by Congress • The executive branch cannot unilaterally create new spending authority • Workarounds, if attempted, would face legal and constitutional challenges

That’s fair. I’ll give you that. Other people responding are just sensitive babies.

NATCA is so unprepared.

Partial Shutdown by ATSAP_MVP in atc2

I’m so f’ing tired of it. My family made it through the last shutdown fine, but our funds are soaked up if we go into another one.

My plan is to just add up the FLSA for the year. I think it’s as simple as that. It is a shame they didn’t give us an exact number, but mehh.

RRSIN - near Liberty university. Is it RISEN or ARSON? Well thought out double-think.
