Air taxi vs. Charter or Part 135

I was flying as a student pilot during that period, and what I remember
most
was that all of the controllers who were inpatient and abrasive
suddenly
vanished and that all of the controllers who were friendly and helpfull
were
still present.



Reagan broke the controller union's back.... he fired the strikers and
never
rehired them. They're gone. Frankly, I don't miss them. The
replacements were
much better.



PATCO screwed the controllers by lying about the strike vote.
As with most labor battles, there's plenty of fault to be found
on both sides.

Don't get me started on Eastern.

I don't remember hearing about the vote, although I certainly suspected it.
The rest, regrettably, is much too true.

Place I was working at in the early 80's had one of the fired controllers
working as a Robert Half temp clerk. He was all about bragging how he was
going to be re-hired due to some legal loophole. Well, guess what!?

He didn't last at our place, either; he was making some snide comments about
some manager that walked funny. Turns out, that manager had half his leg
blown off in Vietnam, and the comments got back to his boss. GONE in five
minutes.

If it weren't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all....

They broke their own back. Stupid idiots thought they could strike and
not get fired. Reagan gave them two days to return, two more than he
had to. Some came back, most didn't.
