Hardships

[Move78]

It was a few years ago. I’m not trying to throw names out. But it came from Natca and some higher level management

few years ago. During Covid. We were still 5/5. So around 2020?

NATCA told you your hardship was denied because you certified?

NATCA told you your hardship was denied because you certified?

We had a string of trainee failures going to TRBs and they dropped the last second hardship and they all got approved. Mine got denied. When I mentioned theirs getting approved I was told… well you should have never certified

Did you grieve this?

I didn’t know I could. I was young and naive in the agency. And NATCA didn’t support it to begin with

Did they mean you should have never certified because you could have left via nest?

Did they mean you should have never certified because you could have left via nest?

My guess is this is what they meant. Being certified isn’t a reason to deny a hardship and openly admitting that was the reason would be insane.

I don’t think so. Cause the nest wouldn’t have gotten me closer to my kids
