The woeful unpreparedness of Management

[Electricfence]

Facility’s are interpreting the new guidance differently. Some centers sent more people home than just FD. Some didn’t. Some towers sent more people home than FD. Some didn’t. The facility obviously has some leeway to how they apply it.

they don’t have leeway, they just don’t have oversight. Big difference. Sort of how the NTI is being implemented different at many different facilities.

Kinda the same thing until (if) they get the direction they lack lol.

Wish they lumped in CD and FD for the terminal facilities... trainers don’t want to train me on light traffic and I’m just another vector for the coronavirus. I’m fairly new to the agency so I don’t have a ton of leave to just burn through so I felt like I was kinda just banished from the cab. Lol

Lock down for the state of California effective immediately except for essential needs. I wonder what that means for LAX, SCT, etc...

Business as usual, built-in exceptions for essential services and transportation employees.

Just now (finally) without the NTI and non-essentials.

ZID Some areas are closed and JFK in a remote tower.

If only they sent non-essentials home earlier.

And here we are training a non-essential on a coordinator position (putting four people between two scopes) but it's okay because he is a supervisor in training so apparently he's not really a non-essential...

I guess this answers the "will they shut down a center " question. Sounds like a big fat no. Have fun in the cafeteria, NATCA offices, and other common areas! Bring on the hazard pay.

The system has to buckle at some point. Maybe two centres?

They told us to avoid those. Yet the cafeteria was the most packed I’ve ever seen it ?

N90 sent all trainees and non-essentials home yesterday.

trainee in one area the other day learned mid shift that his wife and both parents tested positive.

This is gonna get so bad

RWY 10/28 at ATL is closing for aircraft parking

 

[Bandit117]

But people think like our organization can like just send home all the workers. They gotta get it authorized.

OPM has directed agency heads to telework everyone that can, figure out telework for people who normally don’t, and to issue wide policy waivers to send all but minimum staff home... guess who isn’t following along ?

3 areas? Man it would be hell to be working one of the other open areas right now. Seat of your pants controlling make it up as you go just keep em 5 miles/1000 feet apart. Or maybe they make the closed area ppl work a scope in an open area? Or liaison? Not fun either way

“The safety of our staff..”

??????????????????????????????

This is incredibly dumb. Why is JFK operating in a remote tower, and what is closing down a couple areas of a center going to do? The facility isn't infected, PEOPLE are. Coronavirus only lives on hard surfaces for a day or two, and a few hours on other surfaces. Everybody possibly exposed needs to be tested before they go back to work, in the original facility or another area or temporary tower or otherwise.

Good luck. They’ll say they don’t have tests, while testing entire NBA and NHL teams based on possible exposure
