NATCA Election Results

My personal opinion, this will speed up the demise of NATCA. Logically I do not think much will be accomplished, people will be disappointed with how contract negotiations will play out, but above all we will watch the degradation of the profession as the agency clamps down harder.

Neither candidate in this election will change this outcome (Rich or Mick) as there are deeper issues at stake than a position or title.

Idealistically I hope that Nick and Mick can work together but if the past is any indicator, it is doubtful.

People leaving ATC will continue to increase year over year and other jobs in the agency will happily welcome them with open arms.

Question. Why has the agency clamped down? When did that begin?

Of course people will be disappointed in the negotiations. Idiots think we are going to get magiced a 50% raise over night.

Oh I agree, 30% is wildly unrealistic, hell even 5% is imho (given the current climate).

Combination of politics, appropriations, lack of forward thinking, usual NCR politics. My old division could not get the funds to replace me when I transferred.

Bit mobile at the minute so I cannot expound upon it but I think you get the picture.

Aye, but both candidates were establishment and it was a choice of which was the lesser evil. JD is on here, he can speak to that much better than I can.

Yea he dislikes mick yet mick got elected. And he endorsed Rich. Doesn’t seem like the 20% listened to him, from the outcome at least

Turnout did improve though, at least that is something. Again though JD can speak more to it than I can.

You mean to tell me the candidates that ran just to force the runoff ended up having no bearing on the final election result? I’m shocked.

I don't think they ran just to force a run off....

But I could see if one thinks there should be only their candidate and the incumbent and no one trying to change the shitty status quo that they would think that

The 3rd presidential candidate put out 1 video, visited ~10 facilities (full disclosure, I might have the number wrong but it wasn't many), and campaign primarily via internet forums and his website filled with AI memes. If you asked me to create a more generic "3rd-party" candidate that didn't really care about winning an election, I honestly don't think I could do better.
