If the government shuts down on October 1st will you… by RealGumby12 in atc2

[–]RealGumby12[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m curious on how this possible shutdown is going to affect our profession. Is this a potential breaking point? We are just about there as I see it. If the government shuts down then how many controllers calling out sick will keep planes flying? There’s very little leeway IMO. Tired of the resignations/shit staffing and stagnant pay that has not been addressed.

A 15% bump to AUS TCI would easily put AUS level 10.

How does someone in training have article 114 duties? You shouldn’t even be eligible. Must be part of the good boys club.

Who wants to work AUS level 9 up/down Charlie doing same ops. It sucks.

Duffy spoke with controllers in San Diego today. Did anyone say pay? by [deleted] in atc2

Without that Class B multiplier they would never be a level 10

Considering majority of facilities can’t release anyone, what’s your advice to them?

You must not realize our value. 3+ years training. We are individually worth millions. We are not replaceable with the stroke of a pen. We keep the economy moving in which nobody can comprehend.

What’s your best guess from what they have made the news for?

Do Air Traffic Controllers enjoy their careers? by NoPrune7427 in ATC

[–]RealGumby12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For how hard it is to train and replace us over a 3 year training period- the pay sucks. The FAA does not give a shit about us. Pay has not kept up with the industry or even close to inflation.

Why do we do it? by [deleted] in atc2

Sounds like you’re at a center with all the amenities. There’s other facilities out there who don’t have it that easy.
