#162 This is a great opportunity for NATCA to push the need for better equipment, towers, more controllers and most importantly better pay to attract the best and the brightest as they've been saying all day. Strike while the entire world is watching. It'll force thier hand. The perfect retort to what Trump is saying RN.

Media digs enough they'll find out some other things NATCA doesn't need the general public knowing about ATC or DCA specifically. You guys seem to think we win the media fight. I think we get slaughtered.

No they aren’t even advertising it. I think it might be fake. The hosts are saying we are overworked.

Anyone that says differently, I'm assuming, are the same type people that say they have never once in their entire life exceeded a posted speed limit while driving (i.e. they are full of crap).
I say differently and speed regularly.

Is this like the joke ATC Maintenance/tech ops folks like to make about ATC calling about some equipment issue & then they just come and flip some switch while rolling their eyes?

The CRWG number is 30. 25 CPCs on the books. One is medically DQd, one on long term hold. So 23 out of 30.
