Got ahold of the RESPECT briefing from the NE region. Explains the hostility
No that’s not what I’m saying. We arent some under paid workforce or a workforce that is being taking advantage of like the serfs. I’m saying 1. The most people complaining about inflation are the ones who most often complain about government hand outs and and over reaching government, so it’s hypocritical for them to have their hand outs 2. I think the boomers unrealistically set a cultural standard of constant raises, we still got one at least, we still have a significantly greater standard of pay and benefits compared to the rest of the country and the rest of jobs our workforce is qualified for outside of the FAA. We need to be more tactical then complain our raise that doesn’t keep up with inflation. None of us are fucking starving, well maybe AG pay. This inflation can’t last for ever and if it’s does it’s because both sides of the argument continually fuck with each other’s house of cards they are trying to build.
I think that's what the rumblings really are.
You ever hear of packing a lunch?
Even though your pay went up last year, you didn’t get a raise. The standard of living for controllers has been dropping for years. The purpose of a raise is not a money grab, it’s to offset inflation which the Fed wants at 2% a year. If you didn’t get raises, you’d eventually be destitute. If inflation is at 8.6% per year and you didn’t get an 8.6% raise, you got a pay cut. I was being metaphorical when I called you a serf. There are several definitions. Did you have to look up what a serf was? The only difference mentally between you and a serf, is the serf didn’t have the internet to look up what they were being called.
This is all true. Think about all these raise people are getting though. Lots of professionals are getting huge pay raises. We unfortunately have to wait for locality to catch up for some of those. Doubtful that ever happens
You’re not on mando 6 day weeks? Country club
You really don't though. ATC is just 'ok' now. All paybands have less buying power today than they've had since I started in the FAA in 2010.

Poke around there and see what new grads in software make. Like, early 20s people. Then come on here and run your mouth about how much you think you make. Absolutely blows my mind how little perspective some controllers have.
Started in 2010? Sheeeshhh, at least you probably went straight to your hometown level 11 and didn't get sent to a dogshit level 5 halfway across the county
www.levels.fyi is a good resource and is pretty mind blowing for the uninitiated. Also why I’m getting second bachelors in CS… faster than NCEPT.
Shit I don’t even think I can call you brother anymore since I’m not in the club…. Maybe step brother now?omg. i vow to drop down to a knee next time i am out in public at a restaurant and apologize for this micro-aggression! i will cuck myself harder than the NATCA fanboys in this thread
I’ve seen this video once or twice..
I was at the highest COL tower in the country and hardshipped within 6 months of NCEPT dropping because I realized what that policy is going to do to people. Whatever path it took to get that home town level 11 though am I right
Oh man, sorry to hear you only got to start at 10 like SFO. Congrats on getting to Denver before the real estate priced you out of the market.
A classic!
