Oooh, so you're saying FAA employees provided answers to the BQ. Not the agency itself. I get it now.

Calm down, re-apply when you can, remember this is the federal government and things go slowly. I sent in my application and didn't hear back for 18 months.

Breathe in... out. In... out.

Remember that FAA employees, NSA, CIA, DoD employees are your neighbors, your fellow citizens, the people behind you in line at the grocery store -- we got into this to blow the whistle same as you would do. We hate the government same as you. Why are you so against government employees? We really are trying to help.

Noooo, everything I've stated has been oozing with sarcasm. My whole point is, Fox taps into the emotions of its viewers. Everyone can see how the OP is an emotional mess. Bottom line, the FAA , the agency, didn't provide screen shots to anyone.

Yep. I was right. The usual Grubers doing their usual Gruber thing. Deny, deflect, detract, minimize, and above all attack the messenger. Nothing of substance, just "dripping sarcasm". It's liberal 101.

Somebody needs a hug. I'd give you one, but I'm not a Duggar.

Not able to retire, forced to retire.

I call BS you know very well when you hired there was a max age 56 retirement, not every ones problem that you dont want to get off the FAA teat. I retired at age 49 with 30 years and was glad to be able to do this with our ATC retirement. You signed the contract now you have to live up to it. Its time to move on and let the young folks take their turn in the barrel.

Are you complaining about being "forced" to retire at age 56? Do you pull a full pension with medical benefits at retirement?

If the current crop of retirees get a pension, they are a dying breed. There are no pensions in my FAA service, that vanished long ago. Pensions are long gone, you have to pay into various IRAs and savings accounts.
