NATCA response to overtime question

RdRunnr12 Site Editor

If you would have read what I wrote, you would see that my concerens have nothing to do with my wallet. I have a fundamental disagreement with what Unions are doing to our economy and our country. As I mentioned before, I won't say I'm not joining without first seeing how I'm treated by both sides when I arrive at my facility.

Natca's not my boss. They do something stupid I can step aside analyze and decide what part of my future they are going to hold.

Unions, are not blind dates. "How I'm treated,"??? Like who buys you lunch or gives you a 5 minute early go on Friday? I am a conservative, yet I am also a Union Rep. Why? NATCA is the only protection I have from the Federal Government and the heartless, and quite often, mindless decisions they make.

Upon hiring into ZLA, I joined NATCA just until I got certified and was planning to bail. It took only a few months of paying attention to how the FAA works to realize the value NATCA is to all controllers. I urge you to look past your first rep, and look at what NATCA does for all of us.

Glad to see that you are respecting other's rights and moving on without bashing anyone.

But to answer your questions....Mr. Church is the director of communications for NATCA, he is not a controller. This site put up an "Ask NATCA" section to which he monitors. If Mr. Church does not know the answer to a question he will solicit answers from the BBS and he then reposts the entire answer back here. As for not censoring.....ask Mr. Church. IMO, I doubt he could have realized that some would interpet/read into a comment like some have done. After all none of us here know the exact background of the grievance, nor do we know what was said in the investigation and presentation of the grievance.

tho, its not all bad that they hear it somewhere... my facility is 100% union... I'd hate to be the upstart trainee that makes it NOT 100%... asking for trouble So if a developmental elected not to be a member , what kind of trouble would he be in ? Why is there a list and why are the non members highlighted ? They must be special !

Just so you are perfectly clear, the agency that you are striving to be part of is run by a bunch of slimeballs whose sole purpose is to break the system so that it can be privatized and "fixed" by a private contractor.

If you dislike or hate this organization so much , why don't you quit and do something else for a living and save the rest of us from your misery !
