This is John Carr at his best. A classic that will deserve a nice frame
and maybe? a signed copy. This slice and dice of Bobba and the 1500
Stooges at FAA HQ(Berlin)is better than a master cook at Benihanas. I
love the quote...

"Sturgell decided to abrogate responsibility for safety, pushing it down
to the largest collection of "Minesweeper" and EBay experts since the
invention of the modern computer."

Checkmate. No other quote on this blog sums up the idiots and
waste called FAA Management and the Government truck that is flying off
the cliff like the one above.

Did anyone see the Human Barbecue in Madrid a few days ago?
It's my understanding most of those poor souls looked like the
marshmallow you dropped in the camp fire.

It's coming folks. Right here in the good old USA. Just a matter of
time. Under the current FAA buffoons in charge it will be sooner rather
than later.

My only daughter my baby girl stepped off a Southwest flight from Austin
to Nashville just a few minutes after the cluster F%$* at ZME hit a few
Saturday's back. It was one of many major outages that hit ZME on a
regular basis that force the real controllers in the dark room to step
up while most of the rest including FAA management go take a long ****
or comb their hair.

When I heard the FAA puke spokes flak spew "Safety was never
compromised" it was the first time in my life if I could have gotten my
hands around a FAA Managers neck I would have popped it off like a big zit.

I am sick in my core of these lying pieces of dog dung in FAA
Management. S-I-C-K. It hit close to home for me recently. My baby girl
was almost in the middle of that ATC cluster F^%$.

*******S

Kick them in the balls John. Put them in their throat.
Somebody needs too.

I read a few paragraphs. I never found a point, but his language was
pretty much gutter bar. I never read such garbage, whatever the point.

What's truly funny is the spud in question and those like him have done more
harm to the ATC profession than any morons like GW will ever realize.

I'll give you an example. After the Comair crash 2 years ago, the spud went
on TV and said it was the FAA's fault because they were forcing controllers
to work with very little crew rest. The reality is much different. At all
FAA ATC facilities, NATCA proposes the schedule for controllers. Most
facilities opt for a shift structure that starts out on an evening shift,
transitions to a day shift (with a short break in between) and then
transitions to a graveyard shift with another short break in between. It
sounds crazy, but the reason why they do that is to give themselves a longer
weekend. After the spud blamed the FAA for something that was NATCA's
fault, the FAA is now in the process of imposing a shift structure that will
effectively cut controller's weekends down by half. This is just a small
example of the nonsense they put out on practically a daily basis.

NATCA has the potential to do a lot of good within the FAA, but rarely do
they pick level headed leaders. Compare them to the airlines. AA's pilot's
union has a very sour relationship with management, but even at that you
will see their union standing toe to toe with AA on some issues. If you
look at some of the other industry unions, they have a very good
relationship with management. The FAA hasn't laid off a controller in about
30 years. No controllers have received pay cuts in the same time period.
Yet NATCA takes a confrontational stance on every single issue and they
denegrate the entire FAA at every opportunity even if they have to lie to do
so. The OP is an excellent example of the stupidity that infests their
organization.

Name one AFSS employee who was laid off. Just one.

Every single one was GUARANTEED their existing job with no pay cuts for at
least 5 years. Many retired and then went back to work for the contractor
and essentially double dipped which gave them a huge pay increase. No
layoffs ever happened. Try again.

Not all of them. Just the ones who were stupid enough not to come back to
work after they were warned repeatedly they would be fired for participating
in an ILLEGAL strike.

Furthermore PATCO endorsed Reagan in the 1980 election. I bet that really
****ed them off.

Kinda like NATCA endorsing Obama ****es you off, eh?

It was 1981, and those controllers QUIT. Every one of them had the
opportunity to return to work and declined to do so.

They may not separate aircraft, but they had the same title and series as
any other controller. So I was giving GW the benefit of the doubt.

It's all irelevant anyway since not a single one was laid off. Being laid
off means sitting at home without a paycheck. It's not really that
complicated, but apparently it's a hard subject to grasp in
Stupidassholeville.

It is very apparent not only do you idolize FAA management
you epitomize a weak FAA management sycophant and boot kisser

Tell me FAA management sycophant why did the FAA rate 204
out of 222 in employee morale in the 2007 Government
employee survey?

Since you love FAA management so much explain that one away
Mr. Sycophant

How many FAA managers are former NATCA members? How many of them would have
washed out as trainees and not be in FAA management today if NATCA hadn't
had a
policy of protecting every dues paying member without regard to their
ability to do the job?

That doesn't follow comrade.
Simply because someone posts the truth doesn't make them wrong.

If you don't like it perhaps you'd prefer to live in a place that
doesn't allow dissent and 'intelligent' discourse?

An insightful look the the superior private sector performance:

"When I worked at O'Hare we had a nickname we used to throw
around....Lima Bravo. LB stood for "Loser Boy," and was used both
affectionately and derisively if you can believe that. To the
friends, it was meant to take the ego down a notch. To the morons, it
was meant exactly as it is pronounced. LOSER. BOY.

Which reminds me, did you see that Raytheon recently got the contract
to provide all air traffic controller training nationwide? This is
the same Raytheon that bent the FAA over the couch and raped them for
hundreds of millions of dollars for the STARS system.

Raytheon left the FAA with less in their pants than the 1998 NATCA
Contract Team did. If you thought our boys did good, look at these
numbers: Raytheon began promising the FAA a 940 million dollar
project that would be deployed in 172 facilities by 1998. They ended
up delivering a 1.4 BILLION dollar program that would be deployed in
only 74 facilities, starting in 2002. Mmmmmm....tastes like chicken.

Some things never change, including the Lima Bravos in the cheap Wal
Mart suits. Take Charlie Keegan for instance, Raytheon's program
manager for the newest FAA boondoggle on the block. Waaaait a
minute. Is this the same Charlie that was interviewed by Raytheon
just a few short years ago? Is this the same Charlie Keegan who was in
charge of the FAA's Free Flight office, also known as "another
collosal waste of time, effort and money?"

Is this the same Charlie Keegan who, in 2000 as Director of the FAA's
Free Flight program, predicted gridlock in the skies if his whiz-bang
new **** wasn't installed?

Is this the same Charlie Keegan who was in charge of the FAA's JPDO,
and NEXGEN, and all the other money-sucking programs that have bought
nothing greater than gleaming glass furniture for the fancy office
suites they occupy in DC?"
