NATCA throwing a fit about a minor dress code change was newsworthy
enough for AvWeb to pick up; thus, the thread.


NATCA isn't throwing a fit about a minor dress code change. What made you
think it was? The AvWeb piece you quoted refers to "the new rules cited by
management", the dress code is just one of them. It is the whole body of
newly imposed rules that is the issue. Nor did AvWeb mention cutoffs or
flip-flops, but you zeroed right in on them. It's true that shorts are
banned in the dress code, but AvWeb didn't say they were. What was your
source for that? You must have had additional information before you
started this thread. Why didn't you cite any of them?



My statement stands. If controllers want issues to be taken seriously,
tell your union to stop worrying about the window dressing, stop
whining about having to dress like businesspeople, and focus on the
substantive issues. Starting a dispute over this kind of stuff isn't
doing anything but make NATCA look unprofessional.


NATCA doesn't listen to me. It appears to me that NATCA is focused on the
entire body of newly imposed work rules, and it is just you that is focused
on the dress code.
