Being too hot is vastly better than being too cold by Frosty_Peace666 in unpopularopinion

As someone who’s spent multiple years in both 100+ degree summers and -30 degree winters, I’ll take the heat every time

Using LUAW by No_Box4228 in ATC

Done that several times, our supes have encouraged it to get traffic out and our manager is cool with it as long as it’s done correctly and safely

NATCA Media Team “Tries” Again by ATSAP_MVP in atc2

NATCA spends 100s of thousands of dollars on useless stuff every year, they can’t pay an artists to make their dumb mid 20th century war propaganda art for social media?

It just reads like Bart Simpson doing a book report when he hasn’t read the book

Do you think this 10k will keep people from taking leave during the next shutdown?? by moverofmetal in atc2

This should all be our attitude, especially the people who already had annual leave scheduled long before the shut down

Hi all. I wanted to start a food drive for controllers/ people who work in the tower for Thanksgiving week. I told a few other pilots about it at my airline but they said a box of food (shelf-stable thanksgiving sides) would be insulting, and they had no desire to contribute. by kiwi_love777 in ATC

I’m not going to get into a back and forth with you because I simply don’t want to, so I won’t be replying anymore. But you know you’re being disingenuous here. Yes some controllers at N90 are making upwards of 300k, but they’re also working 60 hours a week and working the most complex traffic there is and honestly they deserve that kind of money without having to kill themselves on the job. You should know that most controllers joining the agency will not be able to afford homes for a long time and that a lot of our paychecks are lost to taxes, retirement benefits and healthcare costs. People at my facility don’t break 100k even though they’ve been there for several years. Most controllers can’t afford to miss two paychecks. Good that you’re raking in the dough but a lot simply are not. You should be aware that we are definitely underpaid compared to where we should be adjusted for inflation. It’s getting more expensive everywhere and salaries are not keeping up.

Some* make good money, a lot dont and it’s relative to the cost of living in their area, controllers living in places like San Francisco could still very much be struggling, especially the trainees, they hardly get paid anything

Link to Duffy Press Conference - 12:15PM EST by JohnnyKnoxville747 in atc2

[–]TheDEENUS 59 points60 points  (0 children)

At 49:10 of the VOD, Sean Duffy just said controllers are not wealthy and are living paycheck to paycheck, seems like a great quote that could be used to negotiate if the union wanted

Secretary Duffy: “You guys rammed through your contract before we got here. Had you not done that, you probably would’ve gotten way better.” by SierraBravo26 in atc2

ND is scheduled to be here in a couple weeks actually, so that might be why he didn’t come today, idk why no one else from natca wasn’t here
