Taxpayers 1....... NATCA 0

Well congress has spoken and supported Ma and Pa Taxpayer (you and me) as well as the FAA. Finally a decision out of DC I can live with. I wonder what the NATCA membership had to pay in union dues to come up about 20 votes short of the 2/3s vote needed to pass the bill. Ahh...they can afford it. Some are making over $170,000.00 a year. Let’s not forget....that’s only being on position about 4 hours out of an 8 hour day. (Stress you know. It’s a killer.) No wonder they are fighting like hell to keep the old contract. Well it looks like NATCA should shift gears and start looking at the privatization issue. That’s next.....remember, you read it here first.



Former controller of 20 years.
