Leaving NATCA outside January

Ok, we have 90 more cpcs across the nas.

Is that better?
Certifying 90 and netting +90 are completely different things.
Also not growing the total enough (only 90) is the exact reason why agency management doesn’t want anyone to ERR. All the facilities that need people can burn down they won’t give a shit until ZJX happens again (likely) or someone’s boss figures out what’s actually been sacrificed for the sake of propping up the total number (unlikely). TMIs get noticed because it costs the airlines money.

Damn right!
A message went to facility membership last month praising that the facility certified 20-30 new CPC's this year. The facility is inelligible to release under NCEPT. Our number of CPCs On-Board for last Dec's PPT and this year's...are the exact same .

As it is planned

It’s funny how they can’t even get the exact number
 
When is the last day to submit paperwork to leave?
11.2.b.2 (Page 45/46)

March 1 shall be the annual date for all
revocations of Union dues. The employee must complete
and submit an SF-1188 to the Agency between the dates of
January 1 to January 31
of any given year. Upon receipt of a
valid revocation form completed and signed by the
employee, the appropriate Agency payroll processing center
shall discontinue withholding the dues from the employee's
pay effective only with the first full pay period which begins
after the following March 1. The payroll office shall notify
the Union, in writing, of all revocations and provide a copy
of the SF-1188 at the time the revocation is made effective.
 
Not particularly proud of it, but I submitted my paperwork yesterday. Congratulations to NATCA on driving away a 4th generation union supporting family.
I've been on the fence for the last couple years about getting out. Last year I had the paperwork filled out and I never turned it in.

My local just went through a change of leadership and I'm willing to give them a chance. We will see how this year goes.

FWIW I think national is a joke. I pretty much disagree with everything they are doing right now.

Brother! By your own comments on here you were CPC at a level 5 for about a year. Then got a Support Specialist job at a level 5 near your home town. Worked that for a year or two then got a SS job at a level 12 (still relatively close to your home town). In less then 5 years you mastered the FAA and made out better then not 90 or 95, but 99% of controllers ever will.

I’m not jealous or considering you a scammer, I think you played it all perfect. But can you please tell us with all that success and only about 5 years in the agency what the union did that pissed you off so much you feel the need to quit in an ultra heavy union region and facility?

Everything above the local level is why I decided to finally leave. I have had several bad experiences with both the regional and national levels since I joined; compound that with the generic complaints that are listed by the legion of disaffected above and I'm finally past my limit. I just consider myself lucky that I am done trying to transfer or do anything that requires cooperation.

A rich person doesn't have to love capitalism.

Just because the system worked for you, one time, doesn't mean that it works well for everyone.

I will honestly profess that I was immeasurably lucky with how the stars aligned for my career progression. It seems for most controllers over the last several years that the truest adage for career progression is "it's better to be lucky than good."

I believe my reasoning is too extensive and, more importantly, I am too long winded to have one succinct and poignant post on how and why I feel the way that I do.

My bitterness and disappointment towards NATCA has extremely little to do with matters and leaders at the local level; I have no ill will or feelings of animosity towards them at all (although they might not feel the same towards me after my departure). I have had several incidents at the regional and national level over the past 5 years that have soured my faith in it being an association of members and instead something far more pernicious.
 
…Complaint asserts that he is seeking to “ascertain whether NATCA is operating the Plaintiff’s best interest to warrant continuing to be a member and paying the associated monthly dues…

If [BUE], or any other member who disagrees with NATCA’s proposals, bargaining positions, concessions, or prioritization, cancels their NATCA membership, which would automatically trigger a cancelation of their related dues authorization, it would cause a harm to NATCA’s commercial interests.

What does my facilities current or projected % need to be in order for me to be released for a supervisor job?
