Exactly right. Yes it’s been rare for FOLs to be withdrawn in the past, but if there end up being budget cuts come FY21, offer letters being revoked with absolutely be one of the first things to happen. That’s not to scare anybody, but people need to be aware of what could happen. Hopefully it doesn’t but nobody knows.
Until you’re onboarded, you’re just an applicant, regardless of where you are in the hiring process. The first money saving move they would make would likely be to suspend scheduling any new classes, and tell everyone who had not yet been onboarded that their process is either on hold, or terminated.
I don’t think there will be budget cuts. I know the presidents budget request for the FAA came out before the pandemic, but it still requested a slight increase for the faa. I don’t think the presidents budget request is anything to dig deeply into, but even the house just passed a bunch of spending bills a couple weeks ago during the pandemic. For the FAA, they approved an $18.1B budget in fy21, an increase from $17.6B in fy20. Yes, I get that nothing has been voted on yet and we are still in a pandemic, but congress can see the importance of the FAA and that the pandemic is only temporary.
There aren’t going to be any cuts during a pandemic before an election. Now if you guys vote for trump god help us all
Here‘s a guy that’s gonna vote for sleepy joe....place your bets ? ?
A controller voting for a Republican is equivalent to cutting your own dick off
I don't fully agree with this statement but let us not get this thread sidetracked and locked also!
When has a Republican ever helped a federal employee. Or any union employee.
When has the Union ever cared about all their members equally (ie non senior members). ATCs work routine hasn't been marginally altered based on who's in the oval, except for Ronny but they had that coming. And sequestration was under Obama so it just doesn't really matter that much. There is so much more to living than purely raw dollars on pay day. But just so we're clear, I do not support privatization.
There is a supplement since we retire early. But get to the academy first and pass before worrying about that. Then when they have a retirement session, go to it and they will explain everything.
Thank you for all this information. I really appreciate it! I see you gave an equation to determine the supplement amount. What does the “age 62 SSI estimate” mean? And is this supplement payment given out per month until age 62?
while unions have their place, they reward seniority over hard work and initiative, hold productive workers back, and protect unproductive workers.
What your Social Security benefit would be if, when you retire, you don't work anymore until age 62 and then start taking Social Security. I think.
