Would have a proper area to sleep on mids and recuperative breaks that when viewed by blacklight did not light up like a crime scene in DEXTER full of everyone disgusting drool and crumbs and every other disgusting fluid that happens. Everyone could maybe get a small office.
Would be a place where 2nd Amendment rights actually extend past the front gates and the only protection would not be an 80 year Elmer Fudd contractor. )("Run, hide, fight!")
would be an ELMS free zone, and if they were a MUST, then a proper way to recover passwords that didnt involve calling a help desk and waiting 15 mins here and 15 more mins there all while some self righteous sup sighs and eye rolls and cant evennnnn that you dont have access to do ASH SAVI or Hazardous Weather sames one as last year.
Could press a button at watch desk where anyone who refused to give up the "squeaky chair" would disappear down a chute into a detention pit where they were forced to hear the "old guys" tell the same war stories on a loop about how busy it was pre 9/11 and that one time that old Fitzy Witzy got drunk and banged old Mikey Mac's 3rd wife at the NATCA Christmas party.
People would say hello to the Janitor and not treat them like they're sub human because they clean up entitled sedentary ppls messes for a living. Lol @ govt workers who think they're on the upper end of the bourgeoisie cuz they make $70 an hour and bought a mid life crisis Corvette.
There would be a proper coffee shop in the facility with baristas who didnt try to lecture you about racism or social justice, just served amazing coffee.
There would be an ice maker that worked and didn't ever give you a disease, and everyone would take good care of it. There would also be vending machine that had Snapple in the old glass bottles.
An attempt would be made to replace every sick leave with OT. Credit would NEVER be denied (its outrageous and a slap in the face when it is).
Pilots would be forbidden to make corny jokes about the local sports team of your city on the frequency. Likewise controllers would not be permitted to geek out and say dumb things like "Is that the new Honda Jet/Cirrus Jet/ turbo option / Extended range!?? etc" that they read about on the toilet in one of their pilot magazines they bring to work but cut off the little address label on. You can read up on the latest Navigation, but you sure as hell will not come hunt them down at their home.
Drinking would be allowed in the parking lot when off the clock, and it would be great for comradery and morale. There would be a good local microbrewery within close range to the facility that was convenient for everyrone on their way home. Everyone would always be invited, even the annoying fuckers. Just like it was in the military. things were better that way.
People who failed drug tests would not be coached to lie and say they smeared CBD oil all over their ass, clam baked at a concert, or ate Pot Brownies at a frat party. They would be dealt with fairly and expeditiously, and not off the boards for over a year watching morning television surfing the web and motherfucking the agency for "screwing them". Those people are embarassing.
If you set records for ATSAPs for having operational errors, the facility reserves the right to kick you out. you can save pay and go be a victim and dangerous somewhere else, but its embarassing to work with you and still have any ounce of pride in the job.
Front line managers would make less than the controllers, commensurate with what a secretary in the Federal govt makes. (70k cap?)
