The brothers and sisters on the front lines have been screaming about the inevitable failure of ripping apart the building that controls the NY/NJ airspace. This airspace was designed and built for everyone to be in the same room together, moving traffic safely and efficiently through the world's most complex airspace.

Sign and pass on. National cares about themselves. This is the grassroots movement we need. You may have negative opinions about N90, but I bet we both share the same views on Nationals inaction on things that actually matter. The working conditions and the reckless "safety culture" that the Newark sector has had to endure this last year is unthinkable. Take a second and sign the petition.

 
It’s not happening.
I don’t know that I would say that when this 804 adversely affects other stakeholders. It may not happen soon, but once the airlines and city of Newark are pissed off enough from the monetary losses as a result of the numerous delays things will start changing. This is a festering sore that the FAA/DOT will have to rectify, it’s just a matter of time.

The U.S. Govt is literally oppressing business and travel of its citizens because of its lack of ability to provide a public service that it has been charged by Congress to provide. Not a good look from about all angles.

United is pissed
 
Going on a rant so read on at-will.

The United States is become 3rd world. These are types of issues you experience in India, Brazil, & Nairobi...never in Dubai, Singapore, or hell, even Panama. I would argue that Japan's extensive, expansive, complex rail system with trollies and bullet trains is the equivalent of our ATC system. You would never encounter such an extravaganza like this. They have pride, dedication, discipline, and obligation. There would trails if not interrupted by suicide first - extreme I know.

People need to be aware of who they vote for. I'm not advocating for a party but rather platforms. If bottomless, emotional, social issues are your focus that you pump money into, necessities are going to crumble. I say, if people are inconvenienced by this, so be it. Tell them to start paying attention.

There was little doubt this move was going to fail. Typical FAA does everything quickly, cheaply, with the most incompetent oversight. If they cared, make those responsible know and hold them accountable. Instead, they probably all got promoted and raises.

The union hasn't said one thing about this...except "equipment". So they don't care either.

While I sorta feel bad for the Controllers, they held their palms out when the FAA dangled the dollars and they are going to keep their palms out. Let the money bring them happiness. In reality, they can hang out in the break room while Techops patches things up.

In short, I'm not signing.

I don’t know that any controllers took the voluntary move? I heard it was 2 supes and rest were invols. If they are going to move you and you don’t get a choice, they should pay you.

I’ve yet to hear an N90 controller who thought the split was a good idea, even the ones who thought the facility should be moved off Long Island. This was the faa and natca trying to solve a complicated problem with a silver bullet at best, at worst they were trying to usurp Congress and break N90
