What? It is the same benefit. If it’s setup that after 3 years you get x%, then 5 years x% or something along those lines, everyone benefits, from the homesteaders to the people stuck waiting to transfer. I’m not sure how it’s tone deaf. The reality is that for people to be able to transfer, the faa has to hire more. That won’t be fixed overnight and means doing whatever possible to get more money in the pockets of controllers in the interim. Will any of the suggestions happen? Probably not, but it’s nice to try and think of ways to improve the overall qol of the workforce. Kind of like how people talk about what they’d do if they won the powerball.
