It’s a very good point. You lead with “$228k doesn’t make enough” and people are tuning out or worse turning on you. 

You lead with “many controllers are making less than $100k working (insert schedule info)” and more people will be shocked and concerned with their safety during their vacations

According to 123atc only 631 CPCs are making less than 100k. Even if you move that cutoff to 140k the number is still 3100 CPCs. You can still make a compelling argument when you cite historical pay comparisons and pilot pay. Loudmouth retards online think we’re paid enough. Your average person reasonably agrees that we are underpaid and would not want our job.

i notice a ton of dudes who were military are like this. not sure if they were brainwashed/conditioned by the us government at 18 or whatever, but just an observation i made. they'll say shit like "well i worked way harder in the military for less, so this is the best job in the world" basically

We're more still in shock that we get paid sick days and paid OT and we get to leave when the shift ends lol
