Yeah I mean what, they're gonna pull us back onto the floor to train up and git-r-dun so I can take 4 months to get flight data and use me for "staffing" when they're still doing 5/5 and oh also you have to wear a mask for 8 hours because there are too many people in the facility? Gtfo.
We have all been around long enough to know how this is going to go. We're going to go balls to the wall for a few weeks "woohoo we're back to normal" and then either the 2nd wave hits and traffic dies again like some people are saying is going to happen in October anyway when the federal money dries up, or they decide we cant fully certify because the traffic isnt there, or etc etc and then we just sit around in the facility and self-study for months while another decision gets made, planned, and implemented.
If the decision is a polar "either you come in and get jerked around for months on end, or you sit at home and get furloughed" then yeah sure of course I'm going to choose the former, but the agency heads aren't responsible for furloughing us and from what I hear from people I know at HQ, the reason we're getting this Zoom stuff set up in preparation for coming back in to the facility and train isn't because the traffic is coming back, it's because the fact that we're sitting at home getting paid for nothing is chapping some higher-ups asses.
So yeah, if I have to come in to work to get paid then sure I'll come in, but I'm gonna ride this gravy train as long as I can. And if I do have to come in, it won't be in a mask.
