Florida Air Traffic Controllers call in sick, All Flights Cancelled in Florida | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79875745  United States10/10/2021 09:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Love these ATCs standing up for their rights! Good to see there are still Americans who know their Rights and are exercising them. Way to go ATCs. I do NOT mind driving instead of flying, in support of your efforts. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 80751120 United States10/10/2021 10:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pretty cool that all of them called in sick. I'm sure some of them were vaxed so they would be standing up for what is right. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80903700 Even better would be if Air Traffic Controllers called in sick in all states. Or the whole world for that matter. Yeah.. Reagan fired all of them in the 80s and the world didn't end. nope but till this day they are pissed at Reagan still..i know someone that is a ATC now retired but he hated Republicans ever since...so did the people he worked with... My dad hated Ragan for this. But he was a republican until he died. He as a railway worker and they were not allowd to strik also. |

 User ID: 80549741 United States10/10/2021 10:00 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We have Air traffic controllers? I thought Regan fired them all when they went on strike years ago. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79350292 You can't fire ATC for taking sick leave. BTW  You can if it's a coordinated job action. That is, if the sick out was 'planned', that is a a firing offense. (32 year air traffic controller/20 year air traffic controller union representative) you have any uncel intel from your decades of experience in the field? Any whispers of what's going on here? No. I've been retired 3.5 years and haven't even thought about the job since I retired. WWJBD-What Would Jimmy Buffett Do "If it's wet and not yours, don't touch it." Oregon H1N1 Summit speaker |

They "explained" they were spacing the planes 60 miles apart for "weather" reasons (no weather). All of a sudden the plane took off. The attendants weren't ready, they rushed to their seats. |

But, from my experience, if this is a coordinated job action, the Union risks it's certification if it appears to condone it. And the union will not risk it's national certification. My guess is, there will be a lot of backroom gnashing of teeth, and unless the FAA can absolutely prove collusion, this will pass eventually.

Because of the nature of their work, striking is not permitted by their own contract. So too bad, they should have been fired and these should be as well |

Those FAA stiffs are also federal employees, and are facing the same deadline as the ATC folks. Maybe they'll start getting a cough. No one listens to Brandon. No one will ever take him seriously.

Sounds rather childish blaming all Republicans for something a president rightly did when Air Traffic Controllers disrupted all air traffic in the United States....something that should never happen. It's dangerous to interfere with the safety of millions of lives onboard aircraft. and those on the ground also! would rather have it & not need it then need it & not have it |
