Training hold

[Roger_Roger]

Is this just to make sure people don’t fail to recert so they can get out of a bad facility? Make the options worse or something?

This makes sense.

 

[wand_waver]

If OJTI resumes in July does that only apply to those who have D side certs, or will AGs be able to train as well?

I just hope everyone is taking note of what their union is doing for them as a trainee...

I definitely am. Almost a three month vacation. I’m gonna up my PAC contributions!

And no end in sight for us with no certs yet. I couldn’t have timed this transfer better if I tried

We will see if you're laughing when the furlough notices start flying

Since they won’t.........I’ll start laughing now.

Well damn boys looks like the gravy train is over. I take it this means back to normal scheds for just about everyone.

In a happy note, Back to Tra...... Wait it's still gonna be a year plus before I start my next stage of training. I honestly doubt this had much of an appreciable difference in my training time overall.

If that many people are ahead of you then your just gonna be delayed by however long this lasts still.

Yeah, I'd really fucking hate several months off work paid. Meanwhile we're going to be transitioning back to normal schedules while "high risk" people and trainees continue to ride the gravy train and take vacations and party and shit.

Based on what the trainees on this thread are saying, it's anything but the gravy train.

They just bitch about everything, its ok they have a bunch of paid free time on their hands

i dunno i mean they are getting screwed out of 1000s of dollars of raises and diffs which is hard to even fathom when you start adding up lost TSP contributions, etc over the life of their careers. I see the anger.

Well since I’ve been in the Agency more than 2 years, know how to read the CBA, and know how furloughs and RIF works, I’m not too concerned. Keep trolling though. It’ll make you look tough to the 300 people below you in seniority

Yup, that part sucks. They're still getting paid 100% of their base salary to not come to work. I'd take that at any point in my career.

Hell, let me take a pay cut and only get paid for what I work and let me stay on a 5 on 5 off schedule.

Oh yes. The almighty CBA which for the past 3ish months has been virtually useless and kicked to the curb. Please. Also, there are far more than 300 people below me in seniority in the agency.

Did you get furloughed in 2013?

 

[Mike Kilo]

He hasn’t been around that long!

I was furloughed and still grumpy about it. That’s why I take advantage of shutdowns when I can. (Not banging in sick either lol)

YOU RUINED THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE.

I took a day too. Actually I swapped my days. I was supposed to be furloughed the last day in the pay period, but swapped to a day in the beginning of the pay period. “Might as well take it now and save some leave”. 4 days later the sequester was over.

while "high risk" people and trainees continue to ride the gravy train and take vacations and party and shit.

That won't last. Word is, facility management can put pressure on the flight surgeons to bring high risk employees back if they're needed. Which makes sense, because the decision to send them home in the first place was based on staffing needs and not because they were high risk, right? ?
