NAATS HEADQUARTERS EMAIL UPDATE
Volume 2, #33
May 24, 2002
NAATS has learned, from
reliable sources, that there has been a preliminary FAA meeting on the A76
contracting out circular. Apparently a contractor was named. I've sent the
Administrator a letter expressing our disappointment in not being advised of
the meeting and given the opportunity to be present. For those interested,
I've sent a copy of the letter to NAATS Webmaster John Dibble for
posting on our website.
On a brighter note we continued to discuss the remaining pay rules this week.
Although we don't have an agreement yet I'm optimistic about our progress.
We'll continue the talks the first part of next week.
My next meeting with Don Young is on June 11. I'll be in MCN for a membership
meeting next week with SO Regional Director Dave Hoover and MCN FacRep Carey
Hall. I'll do a swing through the GL the week of June 17 with GL Regional
Director Jack O'Connell.
As you may have heard FAM Training has been resumed for general aviation and
military aircraft. Air carriers are still pending.
Nancy Batye, COU AFSS, has been our technical representative for Federal
Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) for the past three years and she's
done a great job. It's now time to solicit her replacement. This position
requires frequent travel and an interest in the various forms of
communications technologies, e.g. telecommunications networking, internet
infrastructures, etc. If you're interested, please forward your name and a
resume to NAATS HQ.
