Agreed… there were about ten thousand people who graduated from accredited universities (from about 2002-2010) with the intent of being controllers who aren’t because of stupidity and poor decisions regardless of political persuasion.The issues in ATC right now go back waaay further than Trump. This can has been kicked down the road since even before 1981.
Good on you… keep it up. If it isn’t documented it can’t be fixed. More data like that might actually bring change in a semi meaningful way.They get really mad at me when I write on training forms
“This hour had 6 planes. It taught the trainee nothing but did waste an hour of their allotted hours, but at least we get to make the people in Washington happy.”
Wish more trainers did this. I had a trainer at a previous facility write something to this effect and they made him re-write the form (pre-TEAM).They get really mad at me when I write on training forms

Yeeting another thread into the lav due to politics at the same rate the FAA is yeeting airplanes into EWR. I feel almost as bad for the JC admins as I do the EWR controllers.

Don’t know if this is a Corpie or a GArpie, but this is entirely unacceptable. Doesn’t help every ATC instruction is a paragraph long, still, no excuse for this pilot!
