HUSHPUPPY 0 #76 November 1, 2006 QuoteQuote Can you imagine an air traffic controller getting paid $17.79 an hour (with benefits) to work the busiest traffic in the entire world? That is today's FAA. Uhmm. I think it's more like $35-$40 an hour, at least at the center I'm at, ZSE. But, yes, you can tell the FAA does not value its employees. The petty harassment and denial of collective bargaining really suck. I am an Air Traffic Controller (19+ years) and have a small business selling fishing kayaks! It is a SHAME what the FAA is doing to it's employees right now! "You made my panties wet!" Skymama (Fitz 09) "Never argue with an idiot.
