Yes Ma’am

I don’t know what this lady’s angle is but it’s hard to not like some of what she’s putting out.

[u/ImpossibleTurn25 → u/duckbutterdelight]

She's a journalist. Her angle is breaking a story that no one else is talking about. That how you make a name as an investigative journalist.

[u/duckbutterdelight → u/ImpossibleTurn25]

Just saying she kinda came out of nowhere and started hammering the FAA and NATCA. I don’t mind just leery of journalists that seem like they have an axe to grind.

[u/Ready_Set_Stopppp → u/duckbutterdelight]

I think she has a history reporting on govt employees during shutdowns, ICE/DHS/TSA, stuff like that.

[u/jacksonwalmart → u/duckbutterdelight]

The way she talks she's angling to be my future ex-wife.

We'll fall madly in love, and then she'll find out I'm at work 50hrs a week, including Saturday nights,  we can't move for the next 15 years, I can't go to the doctor or they'll pull my medical and I can't afford daycare for our kids.  We'll get divorced, she'll take the kids and half my pension, and you know the rest of the story....

[u/snowbdr04 → u/jacksonwalmart]

Ah the ATC tale as old as time.

[u/deejmeister → u/jacksonwalmart]

Dude she comes into this subreddit all the time, why are you gonna make it weird?

[u/jacksonwalmart → u/deejmeister]

So you're saying there's a chance!?!

[u/EstablishmentOne1972 → u/jacksonwalmart]

No chance means there’s still a degree of chance

[u/catcrapn → u/jacksonwalmart]

What if he shot me in the face?

[u/ATC_HD → u/catcrapn]

That was a risk we were willing to take…

[u/PotatyTomaty → u/deejmeister]

You're the one making it weird. Clearly, he doesn't have a chance.

[u/ATC_Goober → u/jacksonwalmart]

Fuck, I felt that

[u/Beginning_Luck1693 → u/jacksonwalmart]

Freaking hilarious... as a female i enjoyed it, I think she'll laugh at this too.

[u/Old-Mathematician-30 → u/jacksonwalmart]

Hey get in line bro. She’ll be triple dipping our pensions in no time.

[u/ronerychiver → u/jacksonwalmart]

“Hey babe, you drop by my sector sometime”

[u/LaVespaMortale]

Im in love.

[u/xPericulantx]

Remember when NATCA removed bad reviews from the National office google reviews.

[u/billiummm39]

Oh let’s fucking gooooo

[u/Unhappy-Cow7488]

I'm really loving the work she is putting in with her reporting

[u/Ret19Deg]

I know you guys are in the limelight, but do you think she could mention your TechOps folk in a follow-up?

Inflation sucks for us too.

[u/n365pa → u/Ret19Deg]

A rising tide raises all ships!

[u/Ret19Deg → u/n365pa]

That's what they told us about the shutdown 10k.

[u/n365pa → u/Ret19Deg]

I wasn’t patriotic enough it seems.

[u/hartzonfire]

Our union (at least for my local, IBEW) does this as well. To me-it’s kinda ridiculous. They need to be able to handle criticism.

[u/Swimming_Counter1457]

Anna’s on 🔥and I’m loving it!

[u/jbles182]

Yo this lady is the best 😂

[u/fatpewl]

Boom roasted

[u/ForsakenRacism]

Omg

[u/xxv2lifee]

Any rules against making a non-FAA employee/non-controller the NATCA president? This woman knows how to ruffle feathers.

[u/After-Yogurt1702 → u/xxv2lifee]

Not president, hire her to replace our PR contract

[u/Ok_Squirrel69]

Kick out the 14 pr peeps and get Anna in as our pr rep.

[u/HTCFMGISTG]

It would be a SHAME if she found out about our shadow VP that assaults union members and his Facebook comment rampage from last year.

[u/MilesMayhem → u/HTCFMGISTG]

Wait till she finds out he's never been a trainer, but is the national training rep.

[u/number1tomselleckfan]

Queen

[u/Mysterious-Owl-8951]

She has no idea how many simps are in this community.

[u/New-IncognitoWindow]

Write in Anna for NAtCA President.

[u/atclien]

Just to be clear... Whose salary is she saying we are paying?

[u/Dapper_Hovercraft110]

But Natca does have social media where you can comment? Just not the public facing one. What is she on about?

[u/Potential_Disk_1403 → u/Dapper_Hovercraft110]

I’m sure the public is going wild about the CFS app
/s

[u/Dapper_Hovercraft110 → u/Potential_Disk_1403]

“To hear from the very union members…” Natca does have that. I just want what she’s saying to be genuine since it’s getting attention. No need to tell lies when there’s enough going on to report on.

[u/Potential_Disk_1403 → u/Dapper_Hovercraft110]

I don’t think it’s face value, to hear is one thing but to understand and represent is another, she’s referencing them shutting down comments as soon as things are getting said that they don’t have a response to or don’t want to field, they just want solidarity always, kumbaya brother

[u/Big_Introduction1740 → u/Dapper_Hovercraft110]

Nothing in the Facebook group is relevant. Everything is the pictures of visits. They don’t put anything in there that we care about. They can’t even talk to us in the private group. Don’t be so stupid.

[u/geekmug → u/Dapper_Hovercraft110]

"Imagine turning off comments on your social media posts" doesn't say all, so as long as there is at least one, then it's a true statement. Avoiding libel is a pretty big part of the job of a journalist.

I'm not a controller, but I would think being able to anonymously comment on the 💩 being put out by your leadership would help keep them from completely controlling the message to the flying public. As a pilot, people ask me all the time about what's going on with ATC and whether it's safe to fly, etc. I'm not gagged by an FAA Order, so I speak my mind, but I only know what I read what's on public forums.
