Another good reason to have not privatized.
We used to have a member from Moncton Center, but I see he was "last seen" over 2 years ago.

NAV-CA is funded by service fees from airlines using those services. All those stories reference declining revenue as the direct causal factor in the cuts, with what are essentially side references to lowered air traffic. Cart-horse issue?

they’re also hamstrung by Canadian laws regarding non-profits and are not legally able to keep a very large cash reserve on hand. Per my NavCanada ATC sources, this results in NavCanada either going on crazy spending sprees on various equipment or issuing refunds to users since they can’t just keep it. I guess bonuses or pay raises to the employees never enter the conversation lol

The pictures accompanying the CBC stories show off all that new-looking equipment. NovEcho, maybe you should do a Cross Country to see if you could acquire some at a NAV CA garage sale?

I like using CPDLC to transit Canadian airspace. I can tune out the radio and listen to some tunes... Oh wait never mind. I stare straight ahead. I don't engage in conversation and only monitor the radios and aircraft systems. For I am the ultimate JC'er.

I did a few papers on NextGen when I was in college (CTI Nerd), and I'm starting to think ill be able to do an entire 25-30 years in the FAA and they'll still be talking about NextGen on my way out the door.
Since I've been in Ive seen the LA Metroplex give us all these RNAV arrivals that we didnt really use properly for the first 2-3 years because SOCAL refused to take A/C descending Via all the way down.....kind of defeating the purpose of the whole thing.
We also got a new mandatory way to indicate on the Datablock that we're talking to an A/C, when we already had a few different ways of doing it. Thats pretty much all the progress Ive seen in 6 years lmao.
Feel bad for all the trainees at NavCanada and now these Certified guys getting let go. Like you said, more fuel for the "I dont ever want to be Privatized" fire.

I’d be surprised. They’re also not allowed to strike by law.

But then again, right after sending out pink slips due to cost cutting NavCanada sent out $7mil of bonuses to management so who knows

It's like their management took cues from degens from the United States.

I'd be interested to see the handwaving NATCA does the next time the privatization thing rolls around again.

the current P and VP are at their term limits so it will be new blood (hopefully) in the upper echelons of NATCA.
