Now that we know the results, what impact should this election have on contract negotiations?

we'll be lucky if he remembers his "promise" to send us back to the negotiating table...

Mr.Texas Mod

he will remember, he's not going to forget! He still has to appoint a new faa administrator.

in 2 years though. every single incoming president has acknowledged and accepted the sitting administrator in the FAA. Obama will be no different. In 2 years though, expect the changes we have hoped for. plus, the IWR will be up too, IIRC.

Mr.Texas Mod

I believe when Obama says "NATCA will have a friend in the white house"...he doesn't plan on the IWR's staying put until expiration. It would make "0" sense! A change is coming soon, either by presidential influence or the faa laying out an offer NATCA is willing to take.

Although I really didn't want to see him as President, I -really / sincerely- hope he does up your guys pay. You guys are amazing at keeping our skies safe and I think you most definitely deserve it. Best of luck to you folks pushing tin.

thank u! i take it your on the other side of the mic, we/I definitely appreciate hearing that. always have and always will.

controllers always like to hear from u pilot types that we do a good job. it's our ONLY kudos (worth a damn) that mean something.

agree and hoping ur right. just trying to be pessimistic for the sake of disappointment.

Mr.Texas Mod

OK...Just for a minute lets assume that Obama doesn't forget us...Does anyone have any idea who he would appoint as administrator if he doesn't keep bobby "big boy" Sturgell?
