Alright... sorry. Guess that I come off as a bit harsh, but seriously, some things are probably worth making sure you know about... In the end though, I hope that all of us feel that Blakey should be voted off...

She's the one who's single-handedly caused hundreds of controllers to end their careers early, because of the draconian treatment she and her thugs have been doling out. With those retirements, went thousands of years of combined expertise, that will take years to recoup. :mad:

You're lucky if you're only short 6-8... I've heard of places that are operating at 50% or less staffing when compared to pre-9/11 days.
Even worse is that many new controllers that have operational experience with the military or other agencies are quitting in their first few months because it sucks so much. |
This is just dunnage from the flying club gossip pool but I've heard LGB only has 6 people on staff. Ugh. I think there's more like 9 but still, that's not efficient. I remember when I was getting my IFR at LGB and the day of the checkride, the tower prohibited any pattern work due to understaffing, as heard on the ATIS. If you fly into LGB, you will hear that from time to time. That was a first for me.

But thanks for those websites, josh. At least I can get some of the latest aviation news on the rare occasions that I do check my email. :D |
