Looks like I'm not the only only one to frequent both this site as well as
www.atccti.com. I'm a pilot, turned ATC'er, turned entirely new field of work. The current contract pretty much solidified my decision -- when the FAA comes callin' for me to go to OKC on 2 days notice to make $7 bucks an hour for 13 weeks, their gonna get a resounding "hell no." This agency is so mismanaged under Blakey and crew, it's just phenomenal.
I have several friends, all CTI grads like myself, that just will not do the job under this newly imposed contract - or nontract. If the FAA was reasonable with the negotiations and didn't impose such drastic cuts upon an unwilling workforce, then yes, I would still consider this job. Hell, I'd be estatic to accept it. But their imposed conditions were nothing more than a slap in the face and a kick in the, well, you get the idea.
