Don't forget the AFSS briefings and service is **** now that
contractors and the FAA have turned the AFSS service into a
cluster **** giant turd. Also notice most of the EFAS and
AFSS frequencies in Georgia(Along Scott's flight path) stay
broke all the time.

I am sure that did not help the situation

It does make you feel better however the FAA continues to
fund and expand their Civil Rights staff and send Black
employees to resort spas and keeps "Kissing the Black Ass"

Who cares about aviation safety as long as the minorities
are all warm and fuzzy huh???

The FAA and the AFSS contractors pay their technicians over
$75,000 a year but they can't repair a simple ****ing radio
or Nav-Aid facility??

Evidently, it wasn't all that great before hand, either.

But different management and more animosity with the FAA
people who must provide the facility interconnect. Remember,
Air Traffic controllers are worthless if the computer and
communication equipment is not working properly.
