Luckily for air traffic controllers, our pay isn't based off of anything that the President proposes...the only thing he can change at this point is if we are going to get a locality increase.

Our contract guarantees the pay bands will move up in 2011 and 2012 and that if you are fully certified at the facility you will be moved to the bottom of the new band or receive a 3% pay increase, whichever is greater.

If you are not fully certified, you will still get a 3% annual pay increase in 2011 and 2012.

What sucks is this is probably another stalement for improving our air traffic system....we've been stuck for the last handful of years on a continuing resolution.
