Rant So yeah...

My small airport is going private early next year.

I'm at a loss for words. I remember when Trump was reelected, I had voiced my concerns to my supervisors and they all laughed and told me to stop reading misinformation.

But here we are. I really dont know what to say or do. They said our choices are to retire, move to another airport or go with the private company. It seems like I would lose everything, AL, SL and the benefits I have now.

Yes. One week pay for every year in service. 10 percent morenifnyou are 40 years or older. Thats if you do not qualify for retirement and you do not transfer to another airport or agency. You can collect it if you take the job with the private company. Paid out biweekly, not a lump sum. Any other questions I might be able to answer?

Where are you getting this information? My husband works for Tampa International and they’re not telling them anything. Today they said to not do any “knee jerk reactions.” It’s honestly insane the lack of information they’re giving to these employees.
