ATC
Re: Anyone else a bit scared of ATC becoming fully contracte
If you honestly believe that employees are better off working for Lockmart vs. the Gov't than our conversation is over...
The full Gov't benefit package offered to federal workers cannot be matched by any other employer... especially Lockheed. Lockheed employees are always applying to the FAA and every single one of them will tell you that Lockheed is not as good as an employer as the Gov't is... I'm not saying Lockheed is bad, but Uncle Sam IS better...
mmm.....higher pay with lockheed compared to the FAA.....yes no govt benefits, but you have company benifits, and company options including promotions through the company.
yes you are no longer layoff proof, BUT as a new hire you already know that, as an existing employee you had the option of stayin in the FAA as something else if you wanted to.
I'm not saying its right or wrong, but if you layout of the pro/cons it has ben better off for both the employee now and the customer.
the AFSS was in the basement with no modernatzation and way underused prior to LM tookover. within 3 years Lockheed has came out with a syste, that took the FAA over 50 years to try to modernize.
now they didnt do everything right, but ill take a privitized AFSS over the old FAA AFSS anyday
