If they have any problem with what I'm writing I'll simply tell them to stop me when I'm lying.<BR/><BR/>TC...yes, I did send the 2nd letter off as soon as I found the response was out there. <BR/><BR/>Whiten's response to me really is a microcosm of what is wrong between labor and management in the FAA. Perhaps somebody could forward this exchange on up the line as a way of summing up where we are out in the field today. <BR/><BR/>This exact sort of heavy-handedness came into play when I had a letter of reprimand placed in my file nearly one year ago. There was nothing fair about that process and I felt there was no use in even defending myself. <BR/><BR/>So much needs to change. I hear that change is coming.Kevin Gilmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689287179985777963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-38210992514008112852009-03-27T14:10:00.000-05:002009-03-27T14:10:00.000-05:00That Whiten Guy sounds like a loose cannon.

It's good grammar and good writing, dude. Unfortunately, people who merely pretend to be smart MUST resolve to name calling and personal insults to make their points, like whiten did.<BR/><BR/>Did you send your 2nd letter into faafocus (which I happily NEVER read, BTW)? If you haven't sent it yet, I suggest you do a little research into the faa's code of conduct and discipline. I am 99.9999% sure there is a little ditty in there about making disparaging comments about another federal employee. Mr Whiten could be disciplined for what he's done/said. It might be a good learning experience for him. What i was most amazed at was his implication that Lavey's your boss! Comical.<BR/><BR/>The only things that shone through in that exchange were your integrity and the truth of your words, and what a jackass whiten is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-45812590678765435172009-03-27T11:29:00.000-05:002009-03-27T11:29:00.000-05:00Er, I meant to say "the tone of his comment"...Er, I meant to say "the tone of his comment"...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212890428051515494.post-22705374206753663032009-03-27T11:26:00.000-05:002009-03-27T11:26:00.000-05:00You're famous!

Or is that notorious?...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's thoughtful, measured comments from controllers like you that make the rest of us look good too and only strengthens our argument/case that FAA management is arbitrary, unfair, and out of control.<BR/><BR/>And it's nasty comments like those your comment invoked from one of the FAA managers that show their true colors.<BR/><BR/>I'm amazed as well that the editors of FAA Focus published Frank's comment. It shows how clueless they are, or that they encourage/like that kind of venom directed at controllers.<BR/><BR/>Either way the tone and comment of his comment is inexcusable (as is the FAA attitude towards its employees).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
