Russia submitted their vax to WHO yesterday. I'll take me some of Putin's Ghost Pepper Radium Sauce.

I have no idea how anyone can say they don’t think the decision had anything to do with RIFs, but then turn around and openly admit they don’t know the reason lol.

In a furlough (govt shutdown, not rona) you can't be on excused absence (or any paid leave)

I don't know what would happen if you aren't current and therefore can't be furloughed? Are you on excused absence?

I think your technically furloughed but then you always get back pay

For people at my facility at least, they stopped coding it as EA when they started doing Zoom however many months back. They code it as 4 hours of Zoom, 4 hours of self study per day, 40 duty hours per week.

Imagine getting your medical renewed and then being held out of training for a year because everyone is scared of a meme virus with a 99.6% survival rate in the ATC age group.

Myself and the other high risk person got a call from our OM today, basically asking what we want to do. Both of us volunteered to come back in lieu of losing certs, but we are still on 5/5 and the manager said we will likely stay that way into the new year.

Both of us risky people decided that we are probably more likely to catch COVID in a grocery store than we are at work, so we might as well be working than whatever limbo the FAA has us in.

Also, I wonder how a facility stays 5/5 during a shutdown? ?

Unfortuantely that is not correct. Always getting back pay. Still waiting for my 8 hrs from years ago.

The sequester was different. Every shut down we had we got back pay for. I took a furlough day too during the sequester that I never got back.

More scuttle, ATC might be grouped with first responders for vaccine distribution.

 

[Spaceforce]

RIFs were definitely talked about. Confirmed today from a telecon.

True true. My mistake.

I can't believe you came back just to scream the word furlough after we all laughed you off this forum and mocked you when it never materialized. You sound like a broken record and nobody is picking up what your putting down.

Wait! Who is Saltier?

If you say the F word enough he will appear. Look at this thread the last week, it was enough to summon him
