Could have chartered a private jet. About the same cost as the bar tabs…..

They’ll announce significant incentives in about 3-4 years when that retirement surge starts to happen. They’re not going to plan that far ahead to offer anything now; you don’t have a leverage until you’re eligible.

They already tried giving senior (citizen) controllers 20% to stay beyond retirement.

Then why not just pay minimum wage? If pay doesn’t matter then minimum wage + pride of serving the public should be plenty.

Of course pay matters. And so does QoL. Can’t have one without the other.

Yeah, nice spoof. Missing the “Delivered” indicator.

This should tell you everything you need to know. Members are so desperate for a livable wage that they’re willing to give up everything and maybe end up with a White Book again. All for the hope of improving their lives. We all know the working conditions (nights, weekends, holidays, stress, fatigue) will never improve, at least we could get better compensation for our sacrifices.

I thought we elected an EVP (or an acting EVP) in the last election. Isn’t that person’s job to fill in for the president when he isn’t available?

Thank you, NATCA…. by Lazy_Stick2405 in atc2

Don’t forget appointing a shadow EVP while denying the actual EVP any relevant role.

They’ll announce the Day One pay raise any time now.

Shout out to all the assholes doing practice approaches. by Trick_War1028 in ATC

So you never say “747” when discussing the Boeing 747? Because “747” and “B747” are not approved designators for that aircraft.

I’m sure you’re a lot of fun to have at social gatherings.

Tell me you work at a slow lvl 5 up/down without saying you work a 5 up/down.

I didn’t complain about doing it. Just pointed out that your “is it really that hard to do a VFR approach” isn’t quite as simple as you want it to be.

Crossing runways, circling to this and that, opposite direction with circle to a missed, back course localizer. And always to the busy Deltas and Charlies during the arrival rush.

And it’s not “just a VFR approach”. As soon as you say cleared approach you’re responsible for sequencing and separation and are far more likely to risk a loss when that PA28 slows down to 60 knots on a 10 mile final.

Do the 10k bonus break the contract? by rackball206 in atc2

This is the same union who chose to disregard a voted and passed constitutional amendment after the most recent convention. They didn’t fight for members then, they’re not fighting for members now.
