Uncle4,
if you are so discontent with your job, you are welcome to quit.
if you do not satisfy with your training, (i believe you are not radar-rated) confront the CTE whom you dislike and ask what great plan he has for u. strive for yourself. stop murmur.
I agree with Suzie.
Don't be so negative. I want my salary raise as well, but it is out of our hands. The general public will not show mercy to us and think our civil servants are overpaid. The traffic volume increases quickly and we require great concentration on our job. hundreds of lives in one plane. No mistake shall be made.
My opinion towards the Asso. is that we haven't really give them support. They tried to fight for us and asked for comments or stream representatives, but we gave up and showed no concern. who should we blame?
