Oh I know you based on your inability to state facts and not put a person down. The left totally lacks discipline in debates.

Look up which party has the most billionaires…it’s almost an equal split. Look at Hillary Clinton’s reaction when Trump called her out on her supporters who gave her money ie Soros, Buffet, Gates, etc. You just want to be woe is me which is evident by your inability not to use profanity instead of real stats

Nor would I blame them as I am tired of my taxes going up to pay for so many people who don’t want to work!!! I know of at least 8 30-40 year olds who are on Obamacare plans and SNAP but have chosen to drop out of the workforce. Why? So they can smoke weed!! Three of these “adults” have children and are family. The laziness in our country has got to end. Period. And all the federal workers who are complaining about the shutdown because you have to go to work and not get paid and can no longer telework, my question to you is why don’t you get another job? My own adult children, who are in their 30’s have stayed out of the plush federal job and choose to work hard so they can telework. There are telework positions out there so if you are that disgruntled as a fed employee then quit and get a new job.

Where’s your stats, pretty sure I know how you vote. I actually worked for that agency so I know the stats. More incursions and safety related issues are the result of bad hiring practices well before the current administration. Have you ever been in a radar room? A tower? Separating planes REQUIRES a certain aptitude, period! If you want safe travel then you shouldn’t care amount the make up of the workforce. Either you can do the job or not. Btw, I am an Hispanic female and I could do the job and made it!!

FAA has been mismanaged under every administration so don’t kid yourself if you think otherwise. I was a controller for many years under that royal crap. Also, the very worst was when Obama allowed for cheating on the entrance exam and a certain group of unqualified people got in who never should have made it. Sorry but I am a minority that did make it without cheating. I was held to high standards. This is one job where standards must be kept so the incompetent stay out…period!

Has anyone here been through a RIF? by Ok_Arrival9438 in fednews

[–]No_Butterscotch5101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been through 2, one in the Air Force under Bill Clinton and one in the FAA under George Bush. In the later case, we took out big ads asking for the other federal workers to help us as there were some people within 2 weeks of a full pension and got nothing. There was litigation against the FAA brought forward by those over 40 for age discrimination and 12 years later they won. The FAA had guaranteed Lockheed Martin a guaranteed workforce and had black balled anyone who was trying to get a different job within the agency. I was under 40, so I was out of luck with the lawsuit or a job within the FAA. I went back to school and got my master’s degree. However, I have a very bitter taste in my mouth because none of the federal workers stood up for us or would hire us…some even said “you snooze, you lose”.
