Yeah, the top of the band is exactly what I make now. I guess anything I would get for my rating would be a lump sum. You’d probably save pay for a few years, I think. Maybe it is a feeder sup job for larger towers. I’ve never met the controllers personally, but just talking to them while...

TYS OS bid came out the other day. I think I may put in for it. Sure would make life easier. The commute down and back at least once a month with four nights away is rough on family life. I’d eventually have to leave and chase the money again, though.

I think each of our areas here has three permanent midders. Then a majority of nights has an extra 2/2/1. We’ll see how it shakes out. I think if I had the airplane time, I’d have got in while the getting was good on that side of things. The money has been good here, but I just spend so much...

What do you think this means for the 2/2/1? Now a 1/2/2? The mid quick turn doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the evening to morning where I get wrecked. I would’ve just been happy with letting you go home on your curl before the mid since you can’t be held.

Well that’s a motivation killer.

You gotta have a chat with your TMU folks. Every morning I work we have a gaggle of DFW come through. They wait until they are 3/4 of the way through the airspace to drop the spacing requirement. If it were 10-15, it wouldn’t be so bad but it’s usually 25-30 MIT.

Lost track of the thread, but searched it to hopefully get some news questions answered. She has decided she wants to start building a retirement of her own. Looks like the two options that make the most sense are self 401k or SEP IRA. She would be okay putting in ~10k annually, probably no...

I figured you were the type to get nightly D in college.

Nice. Next school that brings me down that way, I may have to stop by.

I am working this morning and we only lost one. We had 12 for the evening (1 over) and have lost four so far. You learn a lot about the people you work with when something like this comes through or bad thunderstorms are predicted haha.
