Slate Book Extended Until 2029

[HurryUpandWait]

Did a majority of the membership ever even vote on a contract at this point?

Excellent observation.

 

[LennyA21]

What's the down side of this again? We are protected if Trump does his anti-Union EOs, and if he doesn't, we reopen when ever.

It’s not reopened whenever, it’s mutual meaning the FAA has to agree. Why would an employer agree to open a contract early?

We asked them earlier this year to open it and they said no

 

[MJ]

No Paul and Trish and her championing collaboration

But isn’t your life better knowing that no one will ever be offended by NOTAMs again

Why did they say no.

 

[ClearanceClarence]

Why did they say no.

Because any half-assed union could have successfully advocated for significant pay raises. Little does the FAA realize that NATCA is a worthless scam.

Decertify this “union” NOW.

Anyone surprised by this has been deluding themselves. The moment trump won NATCA was on the phone trying to get this done before his term started.

I don’t think anyone is surprised

The shock and disgust coming out of this thread would indicate otherwise.

Our CBA will almost be able to drive by the time this is all over.

Weird. Rich was telling everyone the only reason the FAA didn't want to reopen at that time was because their LR/lawyer teams didn't have the bandwidth to add another contract negotiation to their plate.

I really didn’t want to believe it, but can it safely be assumed that Mick Devine was a total fraud and fuck now too?

Suprised, no. Angry and disappointed for many? Yes

1 more extension and "fuck this CBA" will have a whole new meaning

Nick signed the MOU. I think it’s safe to say Mick is not involved with anything. But he needs to speak tf up or he is as good as part of it

 

[theflyingpig]

the only thing that would had made this announcement somewhat less disappointing would have been a pay MOU attached to it - and I’m not talking the 5% ojti raise either

Doesn’t mean it isn’t demoralizing

Is NATCA going to extend anytime a Republican wins now? It's unacceptable to say you'll renegotiate then act like some 5% training raise is a win and extend. I say 5% because Rich got 20% and once that was done they were never going to take it away.

If the TCI gets changed drastically and we see an overwhelming increase of upgrades then sure I'll be on team NATCA. But it's doubtful. The union is too busy using money on partying than doing useful things.

No no, they negotiated when a democrat won and now when a republican won. Very consistent

 

[Foppery&Whim]

So what's NACTA plan when JD Vance gets elected in 2028? Or when Inflation picks up again in the next few years and erodes our earnings? Half the union needs to quit so our dues stop funding wasteful events. They certainly aren't listening to line members, so might as well hurt their pockets.

I honestly think it's better if a controller pissed off Elon and he throws a temper tantrum and fires all of us. Then the government begs us back because they fucked so badly and gives us raises. That's the probably the only way we get raises since we are never negotiating.

Absolutely. What a waste that was. She be lookin like a man baby.
