yo yo....so things just got a whole lot better at work. Our new contract went into effect yesterday(except the pay changes which go into effect jan 1st). Our dress code is now pretty much anything, shorts, t-shirts, hats, flip flops. You could feel the morale the next day. Its pretty sweet to wear whatever you want to work.
Today there was a union meeting and the rep from our facility was just telling people some stuff their working on. He appaerently has a pretty good relationship with senators boxer and feinstein(CA senators) since our facility is at the forefront of air traffic control shortages. Our facility is the busiest, with the worst staffing crisis, so most attention is paid to ours. So he told a story how recently about 30 minutes before Randy Babbit was supposed to be confirmed as the new FAA admin our rep met with barbara boxer and she asked him how things have improved at our facility, he said they really haven't. He said about 15 minutes later he was getting all these calls from union higher ups asking what he said, the the DOT secretary wanted to know to. Apparently because he said that boxer told babbit that he won't be getting confirmed, sot hen babbit made a promise to fix our facility. Its pretty cool actually.
Im done training in the lab, go to the floor to talk to real airplanes this week. Excited, except dreading having to talk to asians.
