ATC sucked when I left, going on two years ago, and it's only gotten worse. The FAA is the Mesa of government. Management is beyond suck.
Bashing heads over everything. Not fun. ATC has a union. Mesa has a union.
It's a true pleasure to work here, even if it wasn't flying. I gained about 10 pounds, but I'm getting a handle on eating on the road. I like going to work, even on the sore *ss 4 hour legs (ok, I'm really not so crazy about that, and I won't have to worry about that in the Bro).
We have no union. And by and large, all the former union guys from screwed up work places like Mesa are happy to be here.
Mmmmmm. Could it be that a good management team can't be replaced with a bad management team and a caustic, embittered workforce ?
