Medical Need Advice on Current Situation

[Bandit117]

Thank you for this. I am wondering if a hardship makes more sense then too. Article 99 does mention “a geographical area deemed necessary to improve or maintain the health of the employee”. Might be a tough sell but i may have a case. The problem I’m currently in is I’m not even training and won’t be for awhile it seems. I’m on admin duties and won’t be in a sitting down setting until early next year. I’m just trying to be proactive in this and also not waste the facilities time. Im hoping it’s easier to accommodate me since im not a CPC there nor in training.

No. Because they are not approving hardships. Doesn’t matter how legit, they are moving mountains to deny them. It sounds like you have time to try to get your ducks in order. This won’t be a fast process. Expect at least a few months.

But it all sounds off to me. You’re on admin duties and you don’t sit? You have not sat at a scope there even in a lab but it hurts too much to do so? If you have back problems from sitting, why bid a tracon? Do You have medical documentation of your condition? If you don’t have medical docs you aren’t going to get an RA or a hardship.

Based on those questions I asked I personally feel like you have no chance of a hardship. They will say you chose to go there via ncept knowing you had back problems and if it’s that bad you can always withdraw and take whatever the nest gives you rather than get a xfer to your preferred facility. That is what natca will get you.

I’m not saying you’re not legit, but it also kinda sounds like you went somewhere to get out and you don’t really want to be there. The way it is with movement, I can’t blame you, but that’s kinda of the vibe I’m getting.

Regardless, if you want actual consideration and a chance to get what you’re after, you’ll have to do an RA. Don’t bother with a hardship bc you have better odds of getting a rimjob from Taylor swift on center stage at her next big tour than you do of getting even the most legit hardship approved. Taking it to the RA process means it’s not the regional offices and natca denying or approving, it’s faa civil rights approving or denying and a it’s protected process, unlike anything in the contract

We’ve had a steady stream of hardships get here over the last few years, about 1-2 a year. Our last one just arrived about a month ago so they’re still getting approved in recent times.
