I love my actual job (air traffic controller). I love the controllers I work with.

It's the political bullshit that ruins it. The FAA imposed a new "contract" on us today (it wasn't a negotiated contract) complete with pay cuts, dress codes, scheduling changes, etc.

I still love what I actually do...and I'm good at it. I used to joke that I didn't know if I'd keep coming to work if the FAA stopped sending me a paycheck. Now I'm planning to leave as soon as I'm eligible to retire.


If I didn't have to keep my job, I'd leave tomorrow.
