Dress Code

My God. I had no idea the FAA was so controlled by their union that
they feel they must put up with this sort of thing. Imagine -- they've
got a current employee, on staff, who runs a website solely for the
purposes of impugning his employer!

Jay, I really like you, but, get your head out of your ..., well, you
know what I mean.

We happen to live in a FREE country where one has the right to speak
ones mind against the government even if the government is your employer.

And what a fool. He has neatly and succinctly documented his own
insubordination. Snidely referring to the company CEO as "Maid
Marion?" Documenting the insubordination of his fellow employees in a
photographic record, and publishing it worldwide?

Insobordination is not calling someone a name. I can call my boss
whatever I want as long as when he says jump, I jump. I can protest my
having to jump, but I jump.

In the real world (meaning anything outside of our totally screwed up
government) his career would be measured in nanoseconds.

Not really. My ex-husband once worked for a major pharmacutical company
and they were doing an efficiency study. The team came upon a
researcher sleeping in his office. When they reported this to upper
management they responded with "YOU DIDN'T WAKE HIM UP DID YOU????".
Apparently this researcher came to work everyday and slept all day.
Once every few years he'd wake up, write down a formula and make many
millions for the company.

You live in a service industry mindset.
My respect for controllers could not have been more diminished. Quite
frankly, after many years of holding the FAA in the highest regard, I
now must admit that I've never seen an organization with a more
self-destructive workforce in my life -- and I've worked for some very
large, very dumb corporations. If any further evidence of the need to
privatize the FAA is necessary, I will be very surprised.


If you think wearing business attire while working in a tower is
important I suggest you look at your priorities. I want my controllers
to be as comfortable as possible. I think we should require the
government to issue comfy sweats and slippers to all.

Margy
What a shame.
