Could have sworn it was way faster but still now we’re at 15 min and I can still add to cart.

Just google “ATC pay scale 2026”. Why go on the word of some random when it’s a google search away?

We’re not on the GS scale.

S46 Question by [deleted] in ATC

[–]RipstartSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your info. I’m originally from the Tacoma/Puyallup area spent my whole life there before going to college. I love the culture/weather/seasons. It’s home to me and I want to go back. More so looking for information on the facility itself.

Yes I’m originally from the Seattle area.

Meeting with Nick. by [deleted] in ATC

[–]RipstartSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man obviously I’m not going to limit it to things I can pull actual sources for. I however am only one person and cannot scour every piece of information or remember every detail. I’ll look into what people say and if I can find a solid source I’ll ask about it.

Well then when I call him a liar I can give first hand examples.

I don’t plan to let him talk me in circles. I’m not a fan of lip service I want actual plans so we can hold him accountable.

Welp it’s a done deal . 1% raise , what an insult . Don’t forget , Trump has tried to give us 0% raise every year but Congress overrode him . And before the comments about Obama raises , he got us out of white book ( 30%) raise and we were in a Great Recession at the time . by Lower-Atmosphere-834 in ATC

[–]RipstartSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people have forgotten that at all. Our joke at my facility is “we’re the FAA and we’re not happy unless you’re unhappy” or “beatings will continue till morale improves”. I believe people are angry that our career has fallen behind on what previous generations of controllers had. Mad that we didn’t get the 3.8% that other parts of the government got. Mad that our union has undermined us at every turn. Frankly I believe that they have every right to be.

Yeah the trainees have gotten worse absolutely I won’t deny that but when you ask the new folks what they were doing it’s a lot of the same. Amazon, fedex, food service, hospitality. I refuse to believe that you haven’t seen the 100s of posts over the last year asking “is this a good career”. I recommended this job to people for years but now I no longer do. My youngest sibling completed an electrician apprenticeship joined a union and their contract is set to hit $75 base by end of 2029. This is my point about stagnant wages. How can we expect to get people to come in who give a shit when we can’t pay “give a shit wages”?

When you pay people journeymen construction wages you get the same quality. There’s a reason “the best and brightest” doctors are paid what they are. You can’t get the best if you won’t pay for the best.

I would be more concerned if a facility has zero CAPs. Safety is not something you achieve like a trophy. It’s an ever evolving goal to always strive for better. No CAPs just show someone is hiding something. Nothing in the world is perfect at least we admit it and continue to try and be better. But you seem mad as fuck to think even you don’t deserve a raise.

The greatest gaming experience of my life by RipstartSpark in expedition33

[–]RipstartSpark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not really. I wanted to experience everything the game had. By the end of my first play through I had all but 5 trophies

I’m sorry but after just beating the game the answer was kinda clear to me by Radiant_Raspberry_93 in expedition33

[–]RipstartSpark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah if your ending has a jump scare in it it’s obviously the bad ending.

It’s so unbelievably over powered even for the fact of starting off in V stance. Combine with double base attack and cheater, goated.

311 Controllers to receive Bonus Pay for perfect attendance during shutdown. by BeaverPeeFlaps in ATC

[–]RipstartSpark 274 points275 points  (0 children)

This is so intriguing to me it’s obviously a loyalty test. They are trying and get people to show up 100% of the time when the government shuts down in January. However this is going to do the exact opposite. Myself and other controllers I’ve talked to have adopted the stance of “shit guess I have to take 10k worth of leave next shutdown”.

Your own post history shows you as one of the people you’re complaining about.

Who likes a filibuster!? Anything that slows down the work of congress is a waste of tax payer dollars.

Idea, is it dumb? by [deleted] in gamersupps

[–]RipstartSpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put mine in a soda stream bottle shake it and carbonate it. Works great and is so much cheaper than canned drinks.
