Government Shutdown

[Dynamic_Decisions]

Any idea how they are gonna handle that? Seems like a rough deal for you guys who were close to done.... They gonna give you a week of spin up time or what?

We where told for every 2-3 days of a shutdown we would repeat 1 day. But honestly I have no idea about anything.

It’s the airport in aero center that ends everyone’s career before it even starts.

From what I hear about their training program it ends a lot of actual careers too. One of those Level 5’s where it takes 2.5 years or more to certify and a 55% success rate because they expect you to be able to work it like it’s JFK. Got to love those places, used to be lots of those but luckily they are dying out as dinosaurs retire.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they made everyone reschedule their academy date and start over (minus Basics).

They should just let’s these guys in the last week pick facilities

Unfortunately, it's been so long that this sounds like something they would do. Just to avoid anyone who fails blaming it on a ~40 day or more gap in training.

So when is Congress going to vote on this deal?

Fake news

You think they’ll really reopen the academy before there is a longer term deal?

 

[Atcbrownie]

Yes they will. Those that work there and those that are in training there are federal employees who have a job to do.

I am very happy the govt is back open, however I hope our brothers and sisters in the northeast being sick today doesnt bring unwanted attention towards us.
Should we expect repercussions?

Repercussions for actually being sick and or incapacitated?? I'm not following

If they were close to finishing, they'll probably do a 1-2 week refresher and continue on course. Those that fail evals will probably get to attend the academy a second time.

What's your guess on paychecks

What's your guess on paychecks

I’d guess straight 80 and being paid on Wednesday.

Look at the National Air Traffic Pizza and Beer Club celebrating the win, when they had absolutely nothing to do with it. The workers who didn't show up did.

This was several years ago before the furlough.

Oh awesome that's a relief I was scared it would be a drawn out processing

Yeah its gonna take a while to get all the differentials in there so they probably will just cut checks for the standard 80 then go back and add that stuff later. Which leads to my question.

Does the FAA ever run special payrolls to correct errors? or will it just go on the next check.

Anyone have a link to the language of the bill that was passed? Curious as to what time exactly the shutdown ends.

You sound like a real winner

I don’t think anything has been passed yet. Is congress even in town?

Also curious on this. Our next paycheck is due to be Tuesday, can we expect to be paid then?
