More suicides. Just use EAP and CISM 🤡

When is NATCA going to change their fucking tune regarding mental health. We are at an increased risk BY THE DAY because of the problems the FAA has created for us. More traffic, more complexity, never ending overtime, more training of less qualified persons, zero ability to transfer, no opportunity for promotion, and less spending power to take care of our families which is the LEAST we can do since we rarely get to be physically present. We are worse off than ANY air traffic controllers in history.

Does it REALLY take a relentless string of suicides, and fucking murder for the FAA to realize THEY are a MASSIVE contributor to these deaths, and for NATCA to stand up for its members and stop siding with the agency in the name of fucking safety. Where is OUR safety!

We don’t need CISM, we don’t need fucking counselors through EAP, we need better protections for our livelihoods if we need to take a break from working traffic for our own health and well being. Cops get desk duty, military get breaks from high stress situations, ATC is a different type of stress but it has a massive impact on our brains nonetheless. When do WE get a break!

All of NATCA in DC needs to wisen up real fucking fast, and get us out of the living hell they have been complicit in allowing the FAA to subject us to.

Enough fucking REACTING to suicides, start PREVENTING them.
