that is all I will say on this subject, but I really hope one day I am right and everyone is a team and everyone makes many many strides foward to the same goal. |
I don't want to come across as mean but you have no facts or first hand experience to back up your claims and hence your argument is flawed. At first your post seemed like troll bait but the more I reflect on your posts you just seem young and not experienced in the world of labor and government employment... while that in itself is not a bad thing not
listening to what those with experience tell you is.
When you report to duty your first day with preconceived opinions about the union and the job you are going to have a hard time. I can respect someone who joins the union and 12-16 months later leaves and says it's not for them and states the reasons why. Someone with no facts or experience but already have their mind made up just comes across as plain ignorant and closed minded.
Joining NATCA is more then just being part of a labor group ... you are going to be brought into a group of very experienced people that will be putting their livelihood's on the line to train you, they will share with you the wisdom they have amassed over their long careers both in working traffic and surviving the pit falls of the job of a controller.
Remember one fact... NATCA did NOT draw the line in the sand... the Bush / Blakey FAA did.
