TX ACTS, I did not belong to FAAAMA, and never would. I suppose I did belong to supcom because every supervisor belongs to supcom whether they were “active” or not, so I guess I was part of the problem.

AS@SCT I wasn’t aware that NATCA didn’t give any pac contributions to Obama, or to a committee or some other entity that had as it’s purpose to elect Obama, my bad. Of course NATCA Zxx and NATCA national were happy to have my money. And weren’t they telling people to contribute to the PAC so we could get a democratic house and senate so we WOULD have a legislative fix to the IWR’s. I think you may be putting a fine point on it AS@SCT. But I take your point.

And I didn’t and never would vote McBush. Not that it’s any of anyone business. My conscience is clear on that point anyway.

Obama overturned the Bush Blakey IWRS. He proposed it in 2006 in a then Senate bill(stymied by the then Republican “leadership”)and he kept his word to NATCA and sent FAA and NATCA back to the table once he became POTUS.

Executive action, not legislative, fixed the IWRs….so your PAC contributions had nothing to do with it.

And if you voted McBush Rick, you voted to continue the IWRS….maybe worse.

How the hell do you know?

They did get input from faa atm’s, om’s and other stupes on what they wanted in the “new contract”.

This is a mess.

My facility….

44% trainees. There’s safety for you.

The longer an internet disagreement goes on, the chance of a nazi/hitler comparison goes way up.

I think it is just the opposite. It is he who is bleating on about nazis and whatever. Do you really think that it was nazi like when the FAA implemented the white book and the way management treated you? Even though it was heavy handed, to compare the FAA or FAAguy or me to a nazi seems a little bit on the psychotic side don’t you think? Who was killed? Who was forcibly dragged out of thier home in the middle of the night and shot or forced to work until they died? Who had everyhing taken from him? And I don’t mean a pension, I mean everything. I know it was bad working for the FAA, but come on, give me a break. I think whoever wrote above that his rage makes him incoherent was right.

And Heavy D, I’m not asking for any help or to be anybody’s friend, or for anybody to have anything to do with me. All I was trying to do was to illustrate that the FAA management doesn’t always take care of it’s own. Sheesh.

And Zabnut, I gave just shy of $2000 dollars a year to the NATCA PAC for 3 years running. Even after I became a supervisor. In fact I was the highest contributor in the facility I worked at, with nearly 300 controllers, even as a supervisor. How much did you give? So who did more to help overturn the white book? Me or you?
