Will it be cheaper and safer to stay home?
Dear Editor,
Gas prices are beginning to keep people at home and now that the government is trying to bust the Air Traffic Controllers union, will it be too dangerous to fly?
Graduates of the FAA Academy have been paid around $34,000. The FAA is now paying some students $8 an hour or around $18,000 a year, (just above minimum wage in some states).
The FAA is proposing to cut wages by 30% and start a 5 year pay freeze, prompting 4000 senior controllers to retire, which will result in serious delays. This has got to be one of the most important and stressful jobs in America. Please contact your congress people before June 5th to stop this madness. http://www.fairfaa.com/
