Shoot The Breeze 3.0

Hey so legit questions here regarding this.

1) Union rep says boosters don’t apply for the 20 hour thing. Nowhere in the guidance does it say this. It just says “a vaccination”. What’s the odds of getting a booster approved for the 20 hours or anyone else encounter this?
2) If I go get a shot mid-week, is it still EA for 48 hours? Or they gonna twist it now to magically charge SL?

It has to be the 5th booster shot and you must prove it was given very close to your anal cavity (photo upload)

You still get EA. I got 3 days off when I get my first one this past Thursday. I’ll be getting another 3 days of EA in two weeks for the booster

Regarding your second question, it’s up to management if they want to give EA otherwise it’s 48 hours DQ’d

This is so toxic w the pro-vaxxers and those who just want to ask questions. I love it. Grabbing more nuggies and choccy milk.

The truthful answers aren’t toxic.

You want that sent directly to you, right?

I'm not falling for that again, especially after the swine flu shaft shots.

kombucha is asking about the booster which would be a third shot. The second shot is part of the initial two-shot vaccine course.

I definitely agree that 1) the implication in the MOU is that it only applies to the first vaccine course and 2) it doesn't say that explicitly. Great job as always, guys...

I was told if we got the booster we’d get the normal 3 days off for the DQ but we can’t bank it

This is supposed to go on the ZJX thread, but it’s closed now. At ZTL we heard they were short staffed in some areas and they were on position for upwards of 4 hours because of minimum staffing. I don’t know if that’s the truth or not, just what I was told. On Friday there were thunderstorms on the east coast so TMU issued routes for Florida arrivals from the northeast to go over VXV ATL and then go down the west side of Florida. Then, once the panhandle started getting overloaded in ultra high sectors we had to start tucking all aircraft AOB FL230 entering ZJX, we were slowing back every plane to its slowest Mach number, and then they stopped taking handoffs from ZTL altogether and we had to start present position holding aircraft all over the center. It was a grade A FAA clusterf***. If staffing was that critically low, somebody at ZJX should’ve told a higher up to limit the arrival rate at their busy airports, but that clearly didn’t happen.

Edit: this is the local news report about it. Pretty funny the FAA blames military airspace as a culprit. Flight delays blamed on limited staffing at Jacksonville air traffic control center, weather

Unfortunately nobody anywhere (specially FAA management) gives a flying fuck about controller struggles with the operation. They'll find every excuse under the sun (except the real cause) to blame whatever delays happen.

Think about it. If they say staffing, they are 100% admitting to a failed hiring/training program. I’m sure NATCA would then turn that on them

NCEPT panel just dynamically decided zjx can’t release anyone this round.

I remember when they ONCE put a gi message out for staffing for EWR when we had like 8 people on shift. Now we average 5 per shift. Literally don’t have enough people except on the holdover/call-in overlap to open 1/3 of our scopes. And we’re down to 2 sups for the area and one of them is here on temp duty and goes back end of this month, so usually someone has to be CIC as well. And there’s more retirements coming.

That's gotta be miserable.

It wasn’t too bad until the last couple weeks when traffic has been picking up substantially

I think we’re almost back to 2019 numbers and we’re not short like ya’ll are

Doesn’t the FAA own the military airspace and can take it back if the situation was that critical? If they had thunderstorms in the useable airspace taking it back seems totally reasonable
