Hey does anyone have any info on this facility or the area? Is there anybody who works there currently or is slated to go there? Is there anyone that could give any info on the move up there or to an adjacent city/facility?

Here's some good reading: WITHOUT SAFE STAFFING IN FAIRBANKS, FAA NEEDLESSLY THREATENS LIVES OF PILOTS, PASSENGERS

Funny you posted that. It was because of that article I declined FAI.

Kind of a worst case scenario, looks like. All the same, glad we're going to the country club of Centers. I'm already signed up for the Muckleshoot slot club for after-work get togethers. Awww jea.

I recently talked to the natca rep on the phone. They have been working 6 day work weeks for a very long time. Sounded like the facililty was in total chaos. Approx. 500 tower ops and 550 radar ops a day. Hope this helps.
