majority (if not all) of the controllers interviewed in the article are washouts....those who were training failures at TRACONs and ARTCCs....and many of them are mad at NATCA claiming its the unions fault for them washing out and being where they are now...these are the types that end up in management positions...thats why they spoke ill of the union and blaming NATCA for everything thats wrong in the faa now....
NATCA was against this article and did not want any of the controllers to interview with GQ...the writer chose not to interview the union rep at that facility...and instead chose to interview a manager there...
as far as the new contract goes...a majority of controllers aren't happy with the new contract
