Well, for the last year every other post was you bitching about training so.....

So? Are you training. Did I offend you.

All I hear is nightmares about being facrep. Can anyone explain why you’d want to do it? Genuinely curious.

NCEPT priority would be my first instinct.

Eh I think at our facility it's the liasion between atm and random bullshit. I assume it's like anywhere else-some people care some people scam, ours works hard

Nope! I was explaining why your name comes to mind when talking about trainees who bitch about NATCA incessantly, have since certified and still won’t leave the union.

I think anyone who visits these boards knows the name 32 is synonymous with whiny trainee.

Maybe he complained because NATCA did precisely fuck all in helping trainees get back to work in 14 months. NATCA made is crystal clear they don't give two shits about trainees, hell not even an email saying they "discussed" back pay for training delays.

Frankly I'm a little offended me and ClearanceClarence weren't mentioned by name

I understand where they are coming from as I stated in the original post. I just don’t think many people are going to leave the union over it. I was using 32 as an example of a newly certified person who was the most vocal here about it and isn’t going to leave the union. That I don’t think there will be a mass exodus etc.

I’ve taken training delays at every facility I’ve been at and I hate them with a passion lol. Nothing worse than rotting on data or d side waiting to actually progress.

I also don’t harp on trainees like he is implying above. I was off for a time at the beginning of Covid and studied quite a bit, but eventually I ran out of material and ways to make the information stick.

I was actually quite lucky to get recalled last summer. I really wouldn’t have been able to handle it if I was still out

That's a fair point, he should be leading by example.

Where’s MNsalty at? His absence renders my username useless ?

Has anyone ever heard of/seen people offered transfers to new facilities following workplace disputes? i.e. hostile work environment, unfair treatment, etc...

No, have you?

If you document it well enough and get a lawyer, I’d say you’d have a fast ticket out

We had a hostile work investigation a couple years ago and the person who brought the complaint forward was supposedly offered a transfer but wanted $ instead and now I suspect we have something similar going on but it's more of just a scam to get out of this black hole. Would be a real shame if it works.

Seen them work to save an assholes job even. Ended up swapping someone at a different facility pretty much next pay period.

I've heard of it happening. All heresay at this point as I wasn't actually at the facs they happened at when they happened, but basically ya the argument that gets made is "I can't get fair treatment at this fac after incident xxx, I need to go elshwere" and the FAA does that as part of a settlement of some sort.
