I found your blog from "get the flick" and after spending 13 yrs working at your facility, it's a fun read for me. <BR/><BR/>I've recently retired and did so only because I still get raises as a retiree. The job was still challenging and rewarding, but after 30+ yrs and the road the FAA had taken it was time.<BR/><BR/>Your great zest for the job is outstanding, so don't let the ex-eglin idiot get to you. Honestly, he dosen't deserve your time or energy. Hate to generalize but i've dealt with many eglin controllers over the yrs some very good, others not so much.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if I can answer any questions about your training.

You've been there a year and you're still not fully checked out?!? Those LOAs are hard to read without major CGI! Oh, you said there's no training. NATCA puts up with that? Better pay your dues and run to your rep! And yeah, I guess I am shit-hot. Ask the guy from Eglin how many people in history have been fully rated in all 3 facilities over there. Not many. But for the poster who thinks I couldn't cut it where he is...I've never failed a checkride in my life. Just a little hint of who I am: I hold the world record. 60 F-16s at once, inside the control zone, now called the Class D, with no BRITE. A once in history event. The entire AFB launched the fleet for a special exercise. But don't worry. I would never work for the fucking FAA. It's the worst organization in the world. NATCA's number 2. (NATCA takes dues from members in Federal Contract Towers...then uses that cash in their lawsuit to get rid of the contract tower program!!! Trying to take the jobs from their own due paying members! Good job!) Nuthin but politics and back stabbing. No thanx. I'll just sit here in my Citation X next to my buddy and laugh every time one of you FAA fucks tells me to "Maintain Visual Separation".......when I'm VFR!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Please tell your buddies that's an IFR procedure. Chapter 7 right? I have to maintain visual - that's the "V" in "VFR"?!?!?!?!?<BR/><BR/>Steven Seagal called: he wants his pony tail back.<BR/><BR/>Please don't file a greivance against me.

Of course, he would probably just wash out of the ETG lab like the vast majority of the ex-military weak sticks we get here. I wish I had a dime for each of these air traffic gods that lasts less than a month working real fake traffic and goes on to greener pastures like CID, SUX, BTR, FAR, etc... <BR/> Come on big guy, let's see what you got.
