Shoot The Breeze 3.0

That’s why my baby leave has me off every day but my OT day

 

[Here We Go Again]

Rumor is verbal warning, then 14 day suspension….then TBD.

Also, they expect religious/medical exemption requests to be in the thousands…. From just controllers. That doesn’t include the thousands of other FAA employees who are also going to be requesting exemptions.

Let’s Go Brandon

I have a pretty good idea that even if controllers are granted a reasonable accommodation and are not vaccinated by the deadline, that reasonable accommodation will include removal from the operation until they are vaccinated.

What are your sources that say thousands? Seems like an overshoot

God whispered it to him as he was filling out his exemption

Can someone explain the time off awards for getting the vaccine?

 

[32andBelow]

A lot of people at my facility changed their minds once it was forced on them. Also no repercussions have been explicitly stated AFAIK, lots of guesswork and none of it being “nothing will happen”. The NAS will work critically understaffed just as it always has

It’s not guesswork at all. OPM put out all the info. For whatever reason the faa/NATCA doesn’t want to share it

Where are you getting "this idea" from? What's your source?

They don’t want too many people off the schedule on the last days before the mandate so they are bribing them to take it on their RDO

That’s smart. I think there’s something where the agency doesn’t have to let you break it up tho. Someone was trying to take 5 on baby leave and 5 off admin last year and they shot that down lmao

I believe if you get it done on your RDO’s, you get 20 hours per shot you get, that time off has to be used within a year of being awarded it. If you’re at a place with almost no shot of getting spot leave approved, you can always replace the annual leave you bid with the time off award. If you had gotten the shot before September 8, you get 8 hours.

Or you can also align your shifts correctly and get 24 hours of leave per shot….. like I did. Make it worth it.

Contractually you cannot just convert prime time bid leave. If you turn that in you then have to put in the request for the time off award, if you then go below another request you might not get it.

An admin position that's good time until I'm deemed safe to go back to the floor?? After working 2 years around people without it...sorry it's unsafe now.

There’s a small group suing the Government over the mandate… which I wouldn’t really call career enhancing. So there’s that.

It's around 800 people, I believe it's explicit to controllers, that have actually signed.

America is crumbling due to a deadly virus and whatever incentives are necessary to give people this life saving vaccine should be authorized.

This is not a rumor the guidance is this on the opm website

I’m hoping they approve mine that way

Yes you can. You just can't convert "primetime" leave. That is straight from a member of a contract team.

 

[Rodsmash]

Be on time? Nah

Ok. Fired.
