Fact: If still on the Red Book, compounded pay increases of 3% annually since 2017 would be ~26.7%.

Fact: Slate Book pay increases since 2017 have been ~38.1%.

Unsaid: Inflation from 2017 to June 2024 has increased ~30%.

Fact: "Skilled negotiation" by those that "have delivered before" has gotten us an average salary increase of ~1% annually since 2017 when accounting for inflation.... and worse for those younger members now paying more for their retirement contributions.

Question: What purpose has NATCA served since Congress exempted the FAA from Title 5? Because it hasn't been demonstrated to membership in enhancements to their pay and benefits.

I wasn't around for the Red Book. Are you saying controllers got a flat 3% per the contract but no January increase along with the rest of the government?

Also, I have 1.03^(2024-2017) = 1.230 (23.0% increase). Your number seems to be 1.03^(2025-2017) = 1.267 (26.7% increase). I think you're accounting for an extra year. But I always get this kind of math confused so maybe you're right.

Yes times two. It was a 3% annual without regard to what every other civilian received in January. And it is until 2025 as those are the percentages used by NDJH in their email and/or video.

One of the weirder things - and I was a DoD civilian at the time so I remember - was the 3% pay raise for NATCA members was higher than then federal raise every year of the Red Book. Think the non-NATCA feds got something like 2.5%, 1.5%, 0%, 0%, 0%, and 1%. That's when I knew SSR or not, I was outta there even thought I loved working DoD.
