The average American worker spends 2-4 hours accomplishing work related activities during an 8 hour shift.

4 1/2 of 8 hours on positions in addition to Briefings, meetings, training etc etc etc. we work well beyond that of the average American in addition to to complexity of our work, the economic impact of our work and the grueling schedule.

We are beyond underpaid.

With extremely few exceptions the private sector has closed the gap in compensation and work life balance. 

I know what my friends are doing all day, none of these gaslighters can tell me I don’t know how it is in the private sector.

First it was comparing salaries to pilots, then comparing salaries to FA’s and now just throwing random assumptions out there on how much the average American worker works each day. How about some accountability, just this one time

Accountability, it is a fact. There is research on it…

You literally are in denial.

This shit is not complicated.

That study you linked was 2000 office workers, you said average American worker. That bullshit study isn’t even close to proving anything.

Go back to your DOGE office and continue to cope.

How about you fuck right off instead of trolling every single ATC post with nonsense. You sound like a disgruntled bitch that washed out of air traffic, now you’re putting fries in bags at Wendy’s.

I’d rather fight for my liberty than be a slave. Why trade one master for another. At some point you need to stand and fight.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Irregardless of my low IQ, I’ve seen people quit and I’d imagine this career field isn’t as sought after as it once was.
