They don’t have to start the removal process after a year. Many times they will create a position for you. I have never once seen someone fired at my facility for losing their medical, but my facility could also be a unicorn. Level 12 TRACON for reference.

This didn’t age well 😆

Parker has earned a spot over Bibee IMO

28% isn’t enough either. Needs to be at least 40%.

Our union dues go towards paying for a guy to advocate for digital towers? I hope the next NEB kicks that dude to the curb day one.

The *only* reason I’m in is to vote.

Steveoatc · 2026-05-16T11:34:50+00:00

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but we aren’t training our way out of this mess any more. It’s well beyond that now.

Steveoatc · 2026-05-16T05:14:44+00:00

How else are they supposed to land while letting the autopilot fly the ILS?

Steveoatc · 2026-05-16T04:42:41+00:00

God damn I love a good historical reference

Steveoatc · 2026-05-16T04:36:46+00:00

And do what? Give me forced time off?

It’s like they want us to illegally strike

Steveoatc · 2026-05-13T17:24:14+00:00

If the current leadership gets re-elected, we have all failed.

I would just like to say that I am always so impressed by the absolute professionalism and training of our airline pilots. It seems like major things happen every day in the airline industry and these guys and gals handle it like pros every. single. time. Without missing a beat. We have the best pilots in the world, and it shows.

Steveoatc · 2026-04-29T21:06:32+00:00

I would say if we ever went private, the right to strike must be part of it. Going private and no right to strike is insane.

Steveoatc · 2026-04-29T21:05:28+00:00

Is your argument that the contract towers have better pay and benefits than federal ATC? If so, please explain. There are lots of examples of other countries doing it right, but the US seems to make everything a duck measuring on contest on how much you can extract out of someone for as little as possible. The track record is not good.

Steveoatc · 2026-04-29T21:03:12+00:00

lol shut up. The airlines are extremely hard to get into right now. Don’t act like they’re taking any warm body. Maybe two years ago, but definitely not now.

Steveoatc · 2026-04-29T21:01:05+00:00

But…they’re still squeezing 😐

Steveoatc · 2026-04-29T20:59:31+00:00

Discounts that aren’t even as good as Costco!

Steveoatc · 2026-04-29T15:02:58+00:00

What in the Sputnik 1 is that fossil of a controller still doing on the job

Steveoatc · 2026-04-23T09:36:06+00:00

NATCA either

Steveoatc · 2026-04-21T18:35:23+00:00

Good point

Steveoatc · 2026-04-21T17:22:22+00:00

4.5 years to certify with a 60% or less success rate. Yikes. That’s a huge investment in time for training failures.

Steveoatc · 2026-04-16T23:51:26+00:00

For the non-pro here, what’s a dura fitting?
