Newark controller speaks out

[HurryUpandWait]

N90 controllers/OS/STMC will be at 500 possibly this year, if not then 2026. 25% CIP helps

But literally killing themselves on the boards.

I’m against all AB scale bullshit. Level 5 controllers live in Juneau Alaska and make less than flight service

True, but give us both a raise. This town ain't cheap lol

 

[Nothanks]

Why don't you sign up for it then? I'm pretty sure they'll pick up anyone that volunteers for the EWR area!

Very fucking easy to talk from elsewhere about how much of a scam that is. You want that scam money, go there otherwise shut the fuck up.

Maybe they'll fire him and make the EWR sector staffing even worse lol

It is a scam because the union can say they are doing something while every incentive goes to the same people over and over and over.

If the facility you work at is causing airline CEO’s to go to the media. You’d probably get the “scam” bonus too.

Why not reward the people that don’t make the news

Would be great, but squeaky wheels gets the grease.

Don't ask for in trails-here's more traffic

Don't check people out-here's more trainees and CIP

Just do the opposite of what you think you should do-for instance, do you get more money for being busy? For taking shorter breaks? For not taking nyquill? Call people whatever you want but I've seen the most incompetent people promoted and the scammers just play video games all day. When you leave the cab a little sweaty just know somewhere an article 114 person is folding laundry.
