NATCA Going Down in Flames

Gee, you're right, why would anyone object to being forced to purchase
and wear uncomfortable clothing?

It appears your position is simply an extension of your bias against
government employees.

No, my position is an extension of my disgust with arrogant employees
who, while being paid handsomely, can't seem to keep their mouths shut
and their minds on the job.

You guys are driving yourselves off a cliff, and you don't even see it
coming. What makes it so sad is that it's precisely the same cliff
that unions have driven off for the last 80 years.

Trouble is, with the seemingly inexorable drive toward privatizing ATC,
your untimely insubordination means that this time you're going to take
us all with you.

That's not the impression your messages give.

They had their mouths shut and their minds on the job until their
employer told them what to wear.

...your untimely insubordination means...

So now it's "insubordination" to complain about a draconian dress code?
(see, I can use inflamatory words too)

No doubt their minds are less on their jobs with more "noise" coming from
the FAA. This is just a silly distraction.

I've been to several towers, CDW's most often. Would you like to know
what the controllers were wearing when I visited? I couldn't tell you.
Clothing makes that much of an impression.

[Though I expect I'd recall were they operating sans-clothing grin.]

On the other hand, the antiquated state of some gear at CDW was burned
into my brain.
