Kicking a corpse? Just sharing an example of the same rhetoric dude was spewing.

All I'm saying is: when there are tens and tens of thousands of examples in the U.S of people dying from this, what point does it serve to share an example of someone who spoke out against the media frenzy and then died... except as a "gotcha, loser"?

I mean, don't tell me you think that's the silver bullet to convince the likes of PushingTin.

It’s just funny to reflect on the own the libs ppl
 
It's fun getting emails from my previous facility that's doing the same numbers/percentage that my current facility is doing, with less people, about how they're doing their best to stay on the 5/5 schedule. They really should listen to the people whining about how terrible 5 day weekends are.

Wait so you say they are trying to keep the 5/5 schedule cus they like it not for safety or what?

Speaking of your previous facility... was this NovemberHotel character as bad as they say? I know a person at ZAU that said they have to mention in their relief briefing if he is in position or not. Then another gal I know said at ZMP they have on the monitor where they show flow and restrictions if he is working or not. Sounds like a myth. But I don’t know anyone from there currently so I thought I would ask.
 
Also, speaking of rumours, not the album. I spell it like that so you think I’m English and so that you read the rest of this post with an English accent in your head and somehow think I’m smart and my opinion matters more than a typical white guy telling you how you should feel. Ok rumour (rumor) has it that a Z someone made their own NATCA shirt that said “Back The Blue” and got sent home. My bet is on PushingTin.

I'm sure that safety is a big part of it. These schedules are designed to keep people away from each other as much as possible and corona is surging across most of the country. It's only a matter of time before it runs through a facility running normal ops. Trying to run an area with 2 people while TMU "tries their best to help out" will be fun.

Having controllers that like 5 day weekends and a union that fights to keep them for as long as possible is a good thing. I know some of their areas are getting battered pretty hard though and I doubt it's sustainable. You'd think we were working under the same conditions here with the amount of bitching you hear.

Yes, he's as bad as they say. There were celebrations on multiple crews when he went to a different area.

If it was a safety thing you’d have to run traffic management unitives and keep 5/5 not go back to normal.

also labs open next week boys. Face shield optional.

I don't know who to be mad at here, the guy or the facility.

Back the blue is an appropriate message. But most people seem only say it out of spite for BLM, and that makes it inappropriate.

But shit, I've now seen people respond BLM when a police officer gets killed. So the reverse can be true.

So I think I'll be mad at the facility here. In and of themselves both messages are appropriate, so either we treat both as such OR... if we're making assumptions about ulterior motives... we treat neither as such.

The reason I thought it was PushingTin was because I heard it and thought of it as a joke since the union makes a shirt for whatever the new injustice of the week is on social media at the time. So the fact that he got sent home makes it seem that the union agrees with managements decision. Funny plot twist is if he wasn’t even a member. Whoever is at his facility please update us.
 

This is deplorable. To cherry pick 1 death in a country of 300+ million people and try to exploit and shame a dead guy. Very bottom of the barrel death porn. He could die via sleep apnea, or a heart attack, or an aneurysm, or any number of things. Especially since he clearly lived alone, likely had comorbidities, and seemingly sought no treatment. Very uncouth and disgusting to be trolling him for political points because he had contrarian opinions. I saw this article many days ago and would never post something that exploited a dead man to score political points. I guarantee he was a better person that that little lying sack of shit wanna be NBa player total media whore Anthony Fraudci. What other dead people can we shame? Let's just become the bottom of the barrel corner of reddit or wherever and just see how nasty and provocative we can be.

And to all self righteous motherfucking cocksuckers who are exploiting this dead guy, why arent you wearing masks at work? Because you are hypocrites so STFU
