Shoot The Breeze

[32andBelow]

I heard the one in my region and they def deserved it. But it feels different when you know the people involved

 

[CaptainObvious]

Username checks out. Pretty sure everyone kind of feels that way.

It just kind of diminishes the truly spectacular ones if they don’t get submitted and it goes to routine emergencies

Our ATM was calling the military bases to solicit more approaches to boost our numbers and knock us off the 5/5 ?

sounds like something my atm would do

Lmao didn’t know about that. Did they mention he appears to be a bit low

 

[GulfCharlie]

That's not that bad, we has a CPC ask our ATM if we can tell the flight schools to tone it down withthe TANG...currently the joke of the tower.

That you TYS?

Or the Potomac controller for calling traffic on two 1200 codes.

 

[Gusher]

How about hazard pay if we are still doing 1.) other than negotiated BWS, 2. Having to wear PPE while sitting at a position by yourself but within 6 feet of someone training.

Forget furloughs, offer up some VERA/VISP!

Well see herein lies your problem A80 is never slow so therefore they wouldn't have time to do this. #solvedit #a80

Still waiting now, two plus weeks, for your PM discussing my issues... I might just have to write you a -25 to get you to respond with your list of grievances.

I mean this truthfully, if we can get the heroes act passed through congress, then the faa will probably have no issue getting hazard pay authorized write your senators i guess

Man, this is a look, but not a good one. Yikes.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happened at TYS

Huh? MNsalty ran his mouth and said he had issues with me. I sent him a PM to lay out his issues and he couldn’t be bothered to discuss them. Yet, every single day he wants to bitch about training and disregarding the entire reason we (agency and union) are social distancing! To avoid spreading COVID-19 leading to a loss of ATC services. So the -25 comment was a stab to get him to man up and bring his grievances to the table. He wants to shit talk a facility he has neither worked at visited. So I’m done hearing the bitching and griping of a controller working at somewhere like Poughkeepsie!

Did you ever consider I have 0 interest in talking with you on a personal level? You're a bully, and I don't have any interest in engaging that. I don't have anything against A80, and if that's how my comments were perceived or sounded, honestly didn't mean it. A80 runs some impressive traffic and I envy the ability that exists in that building. But I fundamentally disagree with your stance on covid, other controllers, and society in general. I also don't have any interesting in engaging the covid discussion or training discussion with YOU specifically since it's been hashed out on here a million times.

There, you happy now?
PS- you have no clue where I work or if I'm even a controller. for all you know I washed out of A80 5 years ago...

 

[the inquirer]

I fixed it. I got so triggered when I heard that guy say we were getting a quick check out

It will be a quick checkout from the time you start training. If the directive says that we train on the traffic we have, then most people will check out at minimums. At least at the facilities that are still running 5/10 or 5/5. Im just talking about training hours, not training time with delays in there.

But also if you can only train 5 days of every 15 that’s not going to be very quick. But better than it was.
