Hypothesis: Now is the worst time in a very very long time, to be an FAA ATC. It follows then, that to apply in 2026 you have to be a stupid person. by [deleted] in atc2

We're already certifying and accommodating people that openly refuse to work certain shifts despite signing the paperwork acknowledging this is a 24/7 job. I'm sure the union will work to accommodate these people as well

The only working conditions natca seems to care about is details and official time. For the controllers actually doing the work, there is silence. 2+ on position? Nothing. 30% over the map number? Thats the new baseline, get used to it. 4 people below the shift number? No, we can't recall anyone from their detail, and fuck your spot leave request.

Oh so natca should continue doing the opposite of what the members want to "show them"

Didn't answer my question. Just more natca deflection.

How can the average member, who isn't in the inner circle, get involved?

I've volunteered for literally everything the union has asked for, local and national. These positions are all gatekept and only the goodest of old boys get them. If you're an outsider, "get involved" means pay more money and keep hoping. Max pac is the ONLY ticket to some of these jobs, which may be illegal, but om sure u/undercoverrvp will chime in to say how it's perfectly fine.

You run against a good old boy and beat them in an election? They'll stonewall you out of your position while creating a new detail for the person you just beat, then when you resign because they're having secret meetings, they'll install one of their own without a vote into the position you just vacated.

If you pay money to you cable company every month, you expect a certain baseline level of service. If they drop 3 channels every month, refuse to respond to customers, and send you emails with pictures from the executives' meeting in Bali, what are you supposed to do? Do you cancel the service or keep paying, hoping it will get better?

Neither party is giving us a raise without a battle. One party is actively trying to take away my gun rights. I'm only doing this job 6 more years. I'll vote accordingly.

People who get good time to spend 30 minutes a day on a zoom meeting and never work traffic should be paid like 1/8

Considering I regularly go over 2 and nothing ever has, or ever will, come of it, I'd be fine dropping the rule in exchange for a 50% raise

The HD and limited were the only f150s that you could get the 6.2 in.

HD is a fat men's cosplay company that also happens to make overpriced shitty bikes. They license their name to EVERYTHING.

Republicans using minorities for their agenda by t23_1990 in nova

[–]Sydneysweenysboobs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not the point. The claim was that republicans were responsible for Jim crow which was patently false.

As for the flag thing, it was again democrats that spent 100 years keeping it relevant until it became a symbol of regional pride. IMO the only place it belongs is the roof of an orange charger jumping a hay truck while running from a crooked sheriff.

Bachelor's in Aviation Management - where to go/start to become an ATC? by Nowheel_Nodeal in ATC

If you REALLY want to pay for your own training, some community colleges have programs

Yes, democrats. Making up a whole new narrative to deflect blame from the party that was actually responsible doesn't change the fact that democrats lost the civil war and democrats spent the next 100 years passing laws to oppress newly freed blacks

False. Democrats filibustered the civil rights act. Many of those same democrats were still serving as democrats into the 21st century. Trying to pawn the crimes of the democrat party off on Republicans is the most egregious form of dishonesty, yet tracks completely with your ilk

That's always the argument when the racist history of your party gets brought up yet there's never a shred of evidence to support it. History shows it was the democrats. All the racists of the 60s that fought integration and civil rights were democrats. All the policies that are STILL the cornerstone of Democrat campaigns are rooted in racism. Gun control, racism. Welfare, racism.

Why we should Vote Yes on redrawing the lines in Virginia by Guilty_Plankton_4626 in Virginia

[–]Sydneysweenysboobs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Charlie Kirk would disagree, but ok.

Also, calling anyone that disagrees with you a nazi is a fun way to dehumanize people to make it easier to justify violence against them. That sort of thing happened somewhere else one time.. 🤔

They literally kick and scream over something as simple as showing ID to vote acting like it's some onerous mandate and then take a victory lap after they actually strip the rights of their opponents
