If you want to be protected by the laws of the United States then come here legally and earn that right. If you want to be a U.S. citizen then wave the flag of this country the Red, White and Blue. If you want to be a supporter of Mexico and abide by their laws then go to Mexico and enjoy yourself. There are politicians in Washington on both sides had better get the message, the working class in this country want our laws enforced, our borders protected and our government cleaned up NOW!!!

If I remember correctly you guys did get cake. I remember the picture of that little ATM of yours that wore Wayfarers. LOL
It is time we as a group let everyone from LaHood and Babbitt to congress and the President that we will not allow this to happen again. If you or anyone of your peers are harmed or attacked or subject to ridicule by management in any way write a letter to someone higher than those in your facility or the FAA and demand action. If you feel discriminated against or unfairly treated let someone know. Write down names, times, dates and situations, LET THEM KNOW. Tell your NATCA reps and demand action, but DO NOT WAIT FOR NATCA ALONE they are busy with many other issues and the battle will be lost if time is allowed to pass.
Because I can guarantee you that the piss heads that have been sticking it to controllers over the last few years are rallying the troops and bending the ears of those that will listen. They are planning, scheming, organizing and calculating their next attack on our profession.
Never, Never forget these last three years! There are people in the FAA management that abhor your existance as a controller. They despise your existance in the FAA. They are envious of everything you do and everything you have worked for. Their very existance in the FAA is based on harming you and your fellow controllers. They are mean, nasty people that get up everyday, look in the mirror and hate their own life and existance. Unfortunately they have been given a title by some other useless POS that allows them to attack you and your profession. They have no purpose or real standing in this agency and they know it. Deap down they know it.
AS_SCT,
A little birdie(FLM) told me that they are getting sent to Chicago in November for Contract/Love Fest Training #2.
Sorry Trish, They aren't my sisters or brothers. The ones I worked with either didn't give a crap about NATCA and felt to the end that we were SCABS which was ironic because they are all the ultimate SCABS by abandoning the cause and crawling back to the very agency that they hated. They either washed out by screwing around on someone elses ticket or became FLM's, hell one even has risen to the rank of OM. I will say that only one guy checked out, did a good job as a controller and retired day one, he still hated us to the core. NATCA needs to break away from any misconseption that they are "brothers and sisters" of PATCO. Any connection to them in the eyes of the public or Washington can only hurt the image and issues facing NATCA.
