Remember when y’all said JD didn’t have enough experience to be president? Sure takes a lot of experience in the eboard and time testifying to congress (which Nick bailed on) to extend a contract. Well done….

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.

This is the adult response

What's with all this decertify/impeach stuff? Over half of you just voted for this guy!

Word to the wise - anyonething thinking about a disability retirement needs to get on it ASAP. It's going to come under extremely heavy scrutiny over the next 4 years.

Is it even a real contract if it’s just an MOU?

Yeah I think normal to be disappointed but the reality is that trump would wipe us off the map if he could get away with it. So sacrificing short term bargaining for longer term protection isn’t horrible. Having an intact contract is what protected us from the last round of anti union EOs. I guess we’ll see if it was the right move.

Does this protect us if they privatize us? I don’t think it would…

You think they can pull privatization off with a 3-5 seat majority in the house? I doubt it.

I think the FAA could just rescind the MOU. The first trump
Admin was under the actual slate book

Hasn’t privatization had support on both sides of the aisle? The main guy last time was Dem from Oregon if I remember correctly.

Except WE isn’t just NATCA. The FAA has to play ball. And if you think they will then there is no helping your level of willful ignorance.

Thought it was Schuster, and before that Mica. But either way both of those guys are gone and no one has tried to carry the torch in their place. But that could also be a bad thing in the sense that a new privatization effort might not have nearly as much thought or user input as the last one.

Right it is a MUTUAL agreement. Explain the logic of the FAA opening the contract early after we asked them for an extension.

 

[Dontbotherme]

so this will now become a 13 year contract. wow

Two more extensions and I still won’t be at the top of the band here through the life of the Slate book.

Privitization might be the only hope for this career. Regional FO’s 1st year are making what level 9 CPCs make and Regional captains are making ZOA pay. Forget about comparisons to the majors. Time for people to retire and quit. We just locked in 4 more years are declining purchasing power. You think the Trump administration is going to do COLA raises in January that are anywhere near inflation? It’s the easiest way to reduce federal payroll.

I hereby nominate jdatc to be the first President of the Secret National Air Traffic Controller's Headquarters, or SNATCH for short.

"Why get f*cked by NATCA, when you can come inside SNATCH instead?"

I propose Federal Air Traffic Freedom Organization or FATFO; colloquially known as Fuck Around + Find Out

Guess we should’ve extended until 2050
