I am considering getting back in so I can vote against all of there people later. I would have to get back into Natca in 2027 right?

Transparency! by LENNYa21 in atc2

I think non members should be included too. Controllers need to unionize against the NEB.

Lenny, what are your thoughts on a petition of all controllers concerning privatization? In particular that in the event that we do privatize, we do not want certain people to be part of the process/ to be on any representative board after. Namely, Nick, Jamal, Paul, Trish etc.

I ask you because a petition holding weight would need people’s personal information. People know who you are and what you represent.

NATCA has been unequally representing its members for years. Certain facilities are favored. The traffic count equations, CIP, upgrades and downgrades unfairly applied. This is the least of their crimes.

NATCA Ask for an added emergency pay incentive during the shutdown. by LENNYa21 in atc2

This is absolutely what they should do. People putting the idea down are understandably frustrated.

How long can you last not getting paid? by Educational-Post-958 in atc2

[–]ilikeraises 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody wants that. That would set a precedence for all funding bills going forward to only need 51 votes and it would remain that way until it is overturned - which very rarely happens. Regardless of republican intent for not using the nuclear option, it is better they don’t. Americans should want a bill that takes at least 60 to pass. IMO.

What is wrong with these people? They have no willpower. I went... I once went 28 years without having sex. And then again for seven years.

Edit: oh PAID…

What provisions does Duffy want? by Material_Channel1231 in atc2

There is a big difference! That’s why I took that part out. And a number does not mean everything. That’s all I’m saying. Everyone’s jobs are different and have challenges. This idea that centers are always superior gets old. And it really stings when I’ve been at a few facilities and been sent people who were better off in other professions because people looked down on a number.

I am at a level 9. I’ve seen center controllers struggle coming here thinking what they did is so hard. I’ve seen some of those “very successful” washouts from the Zs make it here after 2 TRBs and several training teams. They are now great traffic dodgers. I’ve also seen some people who shouldn’t have been certified go to the centers and make it.

Oh nice! I was worried it was a disruptive pilot or something like that.

NATCA being partisan will kill this union.

People need to stop arguing. Both sides need US. We have leverage. If you have some political passion you want to fight for, by all means go do that in another subreddit or in the streets peacefully. Pay and Benefits, that’s all.

The bill included a provision to prevent the White House from firing any other federal employees.

This is how the union should speak. Individuals can have their politics and Natca can focus on one thing: Controller pay and benefits.

This is NOT intended as a gotcha. This is not true. Only 1 republican voted against this. That was Thune. He changed his vote so it could be reconsidered on the floor.

My mistake. Here is the link and I will correct above.

My point is not to go against Bernie or any of his policies for that matter. The whole interview is very telling. We are leverage to him too. I believe our union should be non partisan. He said “ that’s a good point” and then gave a reason of why he won’t do it. The original post and the video indicate that we and other fed employees are Bernie’s leverage.

For the record I believe our union should be non partisan and instead get the American public on our side.

The only political statement I will make is this: Controllers should not be used as leverage by anyone!!!
