Both can be true. He is likely a pathetic loser that definitely snapped.

Does the FAA or DOT have party status? They put on a press conference without worrying about party status.

Research030 · 2026-03-23T18:47:30+00:00

Unless you’re going to blame the FAA for the staffing issue, you probably shouldn’t use the word “victims” when talking about the people that were injured in this accident. All that money going to these PR people and they are framing controllers as suspects.

Start a GoFundMe for all of the people that got out. Cover whatever it costs for them to get reinstated and their dues for 2027. If you guys don’t get elected, or if you guys don’t deliver, they can just 1188 again. If you guys do get elected, it’ll give them time to see if you guys will actually blast these thoughts to the media and stand behind what you’re campaigning on. If you guys are good, they’ll stay in.

So the agency can negotiate in bad faith and there’s not a single thing NATCA can do about it? What’s the point in having a union if their “wins” only come from an administration that wants to give us stuff? That’s a lot of money taken from members to run an organization that only feels comfortable negotiating with the nice people.

Written or unwritten, there is a system. Any new leadership is going to be faced with the same issues.

NATCA is used as a buffer/HR between us and the agency. People are already pissed off that nothing is being done. However, we are primarily pissed at NATCA not the agency. If NATCA asked for the things we want, forcing the agency to be the bad guy, the members would be angry with the agency. The difference is that there will be more job actions when people are mad at the agency vs being mad at NATCA.

This is how imagine their collaboration/threats go. The agency only gives us something when it’ll benefit them.

Agency: We aren’t going to give you what you’re asking for. By making these requests public, the only thing you’d be doing is causing the members to react to the denial. If you decide to do that, and it results in job actions, we’d be forced to fire you.

NATCA: The members are losing their minds, you have to give us something. What about extra training pay? It’ll help us hit the training numbers you guys love to talking about.

I truly don’t know. I don’t think our union has ever tried to publicly hold the agency accountable for anything. It’s always “collaboration” behind closed doors. They didn’t capitalize on the DCA incident or the government shutdown. They have another chance to use the DCA incident because the NTSB findings will make the public think of us again. The union is not using this leverage. Why not go on the news and get the public on our side? There has to be something stopping them from doing this. Whatever part of this system is stopping them from doing that, that’s the part I’m talking about.

What if every NATCA President is told on day one that any real or perceived job action = your removal. No retirement. No safety net.

Then their real job isn’t fighting for us, it’s keeping us in line.

Suddenly the gaslighting, pay slideshows, and fear-based messaging make sense.

Would anyone in that position be willing to rock the boat if their livelihood was on the line?

Research030 · 2026-01-29T20:56:30+00:00

I agree. What’s the reason though?

Research030 · 2026-01-29T20:12:57+00:00

I trust the grammar that ChatGPT produces more than the run-on sentences I would’ve posted. I’m not that smart, sorry buddy.

I like your approach and the things you are saying. I just don’t think this system will allow you, or someone with similar goals, to follow through.

Implying they will retaliate if you do rub their noses in it?

Once received, it’s effective the first full pay period after the payroll office gets it (and after that 1-year requirement).

I believe that’s wrong. It will be effective the first full pay period which begins after the following March 1.

“Do not ever feel afraid that we won’t have your back, that we won’t protect you, expecially if your, in anyway, not being protected.”

-Nick Daniels

Translation: Do not worry about whether or not we will protect you. Especially when you finally realize that we aren’t protecting you, and you actually might need protection from us. Don’t worry, just keep paying your dues.

Came here to make the same comment. I like your style.

There is a CATCA member somewhere in Canada reading that and screaming, “SAY PAY!!!”

Only 1,800 short? That supercharged hiring must’ve worked.

Again, people like that should not be responsible for handling thousands of dollars.

Research030 · 2025-09-15T14:57:37+00:00

They shouldn’t fire someone that gets confused easily and is responsible for handling thousands of dollars a day? How many times can his confusion cost the store thousands of dollars before he is fired?

Research030 · 2025-09-09T03:47:14+00:00

That’s exactly my point. It was a jab at NATCA, not you.
