NATCA is actually being g surprisingly aggressive in fighting for the safety of the membership on this. I don't think people understand just how obstinate and out of touch the agency is l. The agency is fighting them tooth and nail on literally everything. They didnt even WANT to close MDW. Speaking of which... we have major facilities ATC zero with dozens (and exponentially increasing) of people.dying everyday (death toll 95 yesterday morning, now 116), but at the next facility over TRAIN! Let's bring all admin in, all trainees w no certifications. This is a new low we are living through.
"That's the guidance I am getting, it's not my choice".
"I was just following orders".
History repeats.
