This truly is the mind boggling one that isn't being talked about nearly enough. It's pretty clearly spelled out in the OPM guidelines, and the covid crisis is bad enough we are having all these other discussions regarding training, alternative schedules etc., but no mention of hazard pay in what everyone at a leadership level is clearly recognizing as a hazardous situation.Hey NATCA, Hazard Pay...
Were closing a center that does arrivals for one of the busiest airspaces in the country during the day because it’s considered hazardous and we need to clean. How is this not a hazard pay situation lol.This truly is the mind boggling one that isn't being talked about nearly enough.

Maybe they can at least get us some vaccines.Were closing a center that does arrivals for one of the busiest airspaces in the country during the day because it’s considered hazardous and we need to clean. How is this not a hazard pay situation lol.
Maybe one of the weakest arguments on here in at least aIf our biggest argument is the half a million you miss out on by not having this job sooner. You made it out better then the other 7 billion people in the world.
I love it when we agree. I saw that email this morning bragging about shit that happened to the ENTIRE govt and about choked on my dues.12 weeks of paid parental leave was incidental to correcting a loophole that excluded us from the rest of the workforce
Annual raise was for all federal employees
No federal agency experienced RIFs
So of the things you listed, the Slate Book raise was really the only thing applicable to NATCA BUMs only.
This thread is more contagious than the new coronavirus variant.MJ when he logs on tomorrow
When I woke up hungover this morning and saw the name of this thread I was like. PERFECT! I ain’t got shit to do today.This thread is more contagious than the new coronavirus variant.
I think I disagreed and agreed with you every other sentence. Good job.AGs that are bitching about not being able to train in order to get raises evolve in to the same people that defend NATCA for keeping AGs at home for the “safety of the NAS” when they’re certified. Removing that group, you’re left with AGs who just want to do their job and not feel like they’re sucking off the Governments Welfare tit. If you made it through OKC, you probably posses the skills and intelligence necessary to get a job where you actually work (despite Chin-UHH Virus) for the same or more amount of money as AG pay. I don’t give a damn about raises, but when I see police trainees doing take-down training (or any other profession that doesn’t have NATCA representation) and smearing their COVID juices all over each other while AGs sit at home drooling over a forum that praises polarity, something appears to be wrong.

I figured my first post should be something more provocative then proclaiming NATCA nationalists “BOOMERS!”I think I disagreed and agreed with you every other sentence. Good
No, I’m complaining because the entire reason we were on EA to begin with and the reason we continue to be on reduced schedules is because of a virus that we are less likely to get when we sit 6 feet apart. When I work I’m closer than 6 feet from someone, and I’ve been doing that for the last month. The only reason I can’t train now is because of reduced staffing, and we’re on reduced staffing because of COVID, but I can violate COVID safety protocols to work? It doesn’t make sense. There’s just no way around it.You had 9 months off, you’ve been back for a month and you’re complaining because they are having you work the positions that qualify you for your pay level.

My opinion because many of us are being paid to stay at home rather than being paid extra to come in. I’m not saying I agree or disagree but when we are being paid to not work...I know not all facilities are 5/5 and are back on bws I’m just saying, I believe it’s a difficult ask.This truly is the mind boggling one that isn't being talked about nearly enough.

The second the Agency brought back controllers, with partial certifications, they should have allowed those individuals to continue their training. There is no difference, in risk, from that person sitting at a handoff versus a scope. When the Agency brought back CPCs, with underlying medical conditions, ALL trainees should have been recalled. If it safe enough for the highest risk individuals to be in the building because of “staffing,” then those facilities should mitigate any staffing issues and continue to train ALL personnel.
