Government Shutdown - March Edition

There’s an easy solution there. Furlough all the scammers on full time NATCA details sitting in offices earning 6-figure salaries doing nothing. But of course the “collaborative” solution would probably just be to fuck trainees again.

Your idea is great but unrealistic.

Any union memeber on a 114 full time detail (excluding president and vice president) shall be required to maintain currency in their atc duty. Failure to maintain currency will trigger an automatic vote from eligible members in the same facility (tower/up down) or area of operations (tracon/artcc)


Can't find 16 hours of time on position, you're out.

Currently we have SIX people that are supposed to get currency on Fridays (their friday) and use sick leave EVERY week.

Burning 416 hours of SL a year is impressive. Or maybe an exaggeration?

I thought the 114 details got to bank ALL of their sick leave each and every year. I know ours does. Haven't seen him in 5 years.

What about RVPs?

Well, here we are again. The fucking morons in Washington are pushing us to the brink yet again, and it looks like this might be one of the better chances of things actually shutting down.

Since they’ve made this so complicated now, does anyone know if we’re included in the March 1st deadline or March 8th?

The brink of what, free leave?

Tell that to the lenders who gave us money in exchange for monthly on time payments.

Wife and I finally saved 2 months worth of an emergency fund in our savings account just in time to pay taxes and go into a shutdown.

As Vonnegut would say: "so it goes."

Congress nears a partial spending deal, but ticking clock raises fears of a shutdown

Ahead of a Friday night deadline, some senators say it's too late to keep the government open unless there's another short-term bill to keep funds flowing.

CR is more than likely the outcome of this. Personally I see a short shutdown that won't last past the weekend.

Hurdling towards April 30th with nothing but CRs in the forecast.
