I dont think the controllers are affected right now. The ones affected are the bureaucrats who have been furloughed...makes ya wonder if we can do without them this long are they really needed...Reverenddel wrote:Mr. Obama,
If I may so humbly make a suggestion about your dealings with the FAA over union matters... Take a page from Ronald Wilson Reagan, Fire those who do NOT come back to work, use Air Force controllers till you get a few classes trained, and SETTLE IT!
We're in a terrible economy, with high unemployment.
I'm sure those with a desire to work, would LOVE the opportunity to be in the FAA!

The free market works again!The largest U.S. carriers, including United, Delta Air Lines Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co., stand to reap that much new revenue after raising fares to mirror the suspended taxes and keeping the difference, said Rick Seaney, chief executive officer of Dallas-based ticket researcher FareCompare.com.
That's the smart move because you can bet 100% that the FAA will force the airlines to pay the back taxes. It's not the free market, it's them being scared to death of government action and rightfully so.Kreutz wrote:For those who said consumers would save the money not being taxed by the FAA....are you nuts?!

They have a right to negotiate, but the employer also has the right to fire them all and find other employees. It goes both ways...cyras21 wrote:As far as what Reagan did...do you not believe employees have a right to negotiate with their employer? As a union member, I feel they are a necessary evil.
