What work do you do on the radio?

I don't. I was alluding to controllers.

So it's just a guess on your part. It's not on mine. I do work on the
radio. I am a controller. I find I perform better when I'm comfortable and
I'm more comfortable working in a glass box on a sunny summer day when I'm
wearing a nice pair of shorts.

Sounds like we need to fix the A/C.

It's not broken, it's just not up to the task. Should we spend your tax
dollars to upgrade it so that controllers can be comfortable and efficient
while wearing pants or should we just allow them to dress comfortably under
the present conditions?

Do you wear shorts in the winter?

All facilities aren't up to the task? Controllers in radar facilities
(those dark windowless rooms) should be able to wear shorts as well?

Do you wear jeans in the winter? Or is the dress code requirement of
dress pants ok then?

Is this a temperature issue, or an authority issue for you?

Sure. Why not?

I did.

I don't like it for winter either.

It appears to be an authority issue for FAA management.

FAA management is the authority.

The former because not everyone likes to wear shorts...
