Watch the coverage of Rich speaking in the link above. He really didn’t say anything about raises at all. The only thing pay related that was brought up was the long term reauthorization bill so as to not suspend controller pay/hiring in the new year.
 
Chairman graves just announced the only path forward involves taking immediate action to allocate $2 billion for air traffic controller pay raises, specifically through moving to a band separate from the limits of federal pay, with base structures for all as follows (not including locality):

AG: $95,000
D1: $120,000
D2: $158,000
D3: $192,000
CPC: $241,000

Incentives/differentials

• ALL hours outside of Monday-Friday 8am-4pm at 35%
• 25% to anyone working a shift that is not 100% staffed, for the increased workload
• Overtime 2.5X base rate
• unlimited credit, which is then approved to use with priority
• earn sick leave at 10 hours per pay period
• earn annual leave at 12 hours per pay period

The newly developed FAA mental health task force team will be charged with implementing the following:

• 1 work from home day each pay period to work on teams, elms, attend virtual safety briefings and recurrent training, etc
• Health insurance premiums covered 100%, including copays/coinsurance for mental health counseling and treatment, family and marriage counseling, etc.
• max employer contributions to HSA/FSA accounts
• 1 hour per shift allocated for each employee to use the health club that will be opened at each and every facility, which will include fitness equipment, showers, saunas, an on-staff massage therapist, and more to help decompress and manage stress

No way this is going to happen.

Probably not, but if these fucking cowards would demand exactly this then maybe Congress would bargain with the union and get us somewhere in between. Cut out the middle man and just bargain directly with the house of degenerates.

This is funny, but I still have hopes some or all of the claims in that other Santa-Christmas pay thread are true.

"Turbulence Ahead: Consequences of Delaying a Long-Term FAA Bill"
Before peanut gallery posts, this hearing is not about getting controllers paid more. It's about pointing out the costs of the Senate delaying FAA Reauthorization.

TLDR - Safety is our number 1 priority. Capacity is reduced. FAA finance is wrong about our staffing numbers. The Senate must pass FAA reauth for full CRWG numbers. 6 day work weeks/10 hour days are bad and increasing stress in an already stressful career. ATC attracts enough applicants for the job, but current hiring process is the hold up.

No mention of ATC pay yet and likely will not be brought up by Santa unless the question directly addresses pay. Though some questions were pointed and could have been answered with pay in mind.

My favorite quote is when he said we have a robust and highly successful transfer program.
