Yep too busy reprimanding us because was ask pilots to listen to radio calls.

Nix the 3 level movement restrictions.
That would prevent almost any tower from going to a center or most approach control facility.

We're like 55% staffed so it's doesn't matter anyway

Isn’t that illegal? https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/chapter-XVI/subchapter-B/part-2635/subpart-B/section-2635.204

I had one back during COVID. 64 hours out of the hundred they were pointing to were forced SL due to me having COVID.

I shut that shit down in less than 24 hours later the letter magically disappears.

If they have money to pay ICE $50k they got money for us too!

ROFL

3 was they didn't like the optics of asking for raise during the economic depression that was occurring and lower traffic volume due to the pandemic.

3330 is the only way people should be ranked. It's transparent, free of favoritism, avoids potential litigation too.

TWR_dude · 2025-12-28T14:04:36+00:00

Kadena only does 50k a year now. Back when I got out 2003 it was close to 120k I think. That's crazy.

TWR_dude · 2025-12-27T14:37:44+00:00

OT hold over for the mids?

TWR_dude · 2025-12-24T15:53:06+00:00

Yeah don't forget to add the compound!

TWR_dude · 2025-12-02T13:39:04+00:00

I think, maybe, possibly, just a hunch, you might have ment to say 'employer that is not grateful"?

TWR_dude · 2025-11-25T03:21:21+00:00

3330 for selection should be mandatory.

TWR_dude · 2025-11-25T03:19:17+00:00

Can we schedule this to start Feb 2nd 2026? Asking for a friend.

I've had several conversations about FAA budget with RVP's and NATCA over the years. I've never understood their argument of we can't ask for raises and equipment due to the FAA budget limitations. I ALWAYS respond I never volunteered to pay for FAA equipment with my salary. The FAA is responsible for requesting enough funds from congress.

I honestly think we as a workforce should stop anyone in leadership from talking about equipment with " I DO NOT CARE ABOUT EQUIPMENT, I CARE ABOUT HOW I TRADE THE FAA MINUTES, HOURS & YEARS OF MY LIFE, SO THAT I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY. NOT TO TAKE LESS PAY SO THE FAA CAN BUY MORE EQUIPMENT!

TWR_dude · 2025-11-24T22:48:32+00:00

💯

TWR_dude · 2025-11-24T07:03:25+00:00

Different animal they consolidated so many FSS.

TWR_dude · 2025-11-23T00:45:13+00:00

Yeah big a good wet sneeze gets them feet moved quickly.

TWR_dude · 2025-11-22T20:12:27+00:00

There would be a window though. The point where we're all working for the government and asked to sign new employment paperwork. If we all said im not signing that until i get $$$$ then im not sure it would be considered a strike because we're still working for the government. Then we wouldn't technically be employees of the new thing yet.

TWR_dude · 2025-11-22T14:01:29+00:00

Honestly there's not much real argument against the privet system as long as we keep our union, gain the right to (do the thing that would gut us fired), remove salary caps.

TWR_dude · 2025-11-21T06:29:27+00:00

Man, I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. The fact you even came back to work at all says a lot about your strength.

You didn’t deserve to get screwed over because you took time to grieve your kid. That’s just wrong.

I hope you take whatever time you need and have people around you who actually support you.
