working for the faa in a nutshell

[Mc15]

Being stuck at a lvl 5 up down in rural BFE, USA with VERY slim pickin's on Tinder.

Used to call that hog hungin’

Anyone happy with a non-guaranteed “5.2%” is a loser and bobs for apples in the toilet. And they like it.

It’s a good Byron raise. If we want a big raise Natca needs to do their job.

That’s the problem: NATCA won’t.

If they fight for their employees, they’ll lose funding or some dumb shit they’ll make up.

I now. But you are allowed to be happy about a 5.2% government raise and still be mad at Natca. But Natca will come in and be like look we got you a raise. Like they did when they “got us ppl”

You’re also allowed to be unhappy when we’ve been taking pay cuts with these shit raises during a half decade inflation increase.

 

[BDUB]

I mean, you accepted the offer.

Yeah because at the academy they tell you lies about how you can do two yrs at your first facility and transfer anywhere you want blah blah blah

Well let's put your memeing aside.

Supervisors get performance based raises/incentives. The only way we would possibly get those is a contract change.

Next are you talking about a one time pay adjustment through congress, not unheard of. Have you built a website? Written your congressperson? Union elections are right around the corner.

I'll say this, when performance raises are bigger than the union raise, something is wrong.

We got 10% in like 2 years. That’s around what inflation has been

They could work inside the existing pay bands and get the majority of controllers big raises.

 

[Raise when?]

Lower middle class? Maybe as an AG, but what a completely disjointed comment. 34% of households make more than $100k. Well more than half of controllers (as individuals) make over $100k. I get your point, but it's well over inflated.

Why are you okay for settling when we can demand more?

We got 10% in like 2 years. That’s around what inflation has been

We are not keeping up with inflation at all. 10+10= 20

They could work inside the existing pay bands and get the majority of controllers big raises.

Everyone could be bumped 25k base including the 12’s. Take us off the pay cap.


But we have to FIGHT and stop collaborating like bitches.

COLLABORATION = FAA AND NATCA JOIN FORCES TO FUCK CONTROLLERS

Collaboration is being lectured by the union to be a professional constantly.

Collaboration is being lectured by the faa and the union about doing endless respect and harmony ELMS

collaboration is telling the guy with a young family at a level 7 who works 6 day weeks for years with no end in sight that “IT CAN WAIT”

Actually, by the time he’s done waiting, he’ll be a disgruntled fuck like me and his kids will be grown up already and he’s missed their childhoods

RAZEWEN, RAZEWEN, RAZEWEN!!!!

Let me fucking tell you guys something and any real controller knows this

The faa lectures us about safety constantly but they do not care, I have seen it in my career where safety is jeopardized to keep the planes moving, with 4 on a shift with weather and swaps (at a 12)

The only people who truly care about safety are the ones being the scopes moving metal brothers

Fuck your collaboration, I want my goddamn raze and 32 hr work week and I want it now

 

[ncssailor]

BINGO! Adjust the paybands and give everyone 10% immediately, if not massive retirement wave a comin.
More money may keep more around longer.

Collaboration neutered NATCA. After the white book was out the window they became pussies.

I really wish MJ would nuke the troll accounts

Me too, let’s start with you

 

[doodii]

That’s 5% every year. A total of 10%. Let’s say inflation last year was 7% and this year it’s 9%. That’s 16% total.

5<7
5<9
10<16

The real figures show an average of 5.57% increasing each year over the last two years. That’s still 11.14%.

10<11.14

Jesus fucking Christ where do these people come from who can’t do simple math?

It doesn’t have to be like this. I’m gonna talk to my facrep. And then I wanna talk to rich Santa. I want to see what they are thinking tbh. We should all talk to our facreps. The market forces are with us regarding raises.



All these unions are having huge wins. It’s time we eat brothers
