wake up!

With all the things that has been happening to the ATCs lately, how the hell can you still sleep soundly at night? 

• The worldwidely respected ATC profession will be downgraded to ATMO (Air Traffic Management Officer) where in we will be performing duties adherent to that of Flight Information Service Stations. For what reasons? To upgrade the unrecognized Airways Communicators so they can also receive the salaries that is should be afforded to professionally trained Air Traffic Controllers. 
• Our juniors belonging to the classes BATS 8,9 and lower, who already underwent their respective facility ratings are being held hostage by the ATS management by withholding their rating certificates. Again why? Simply, because they chose to be active in the Philippine Air Traffic Controllers' Association. Isn't this the same association that worked tirelessly to get our extra allowances? The same association that struggled so we can attain the GOCC status being now Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines? The association that works day and night just to improve the ATC system- our very way of life?
• What about our IRFs and DRFs and other training requirements as stated in numerous ICAO manuals and documents?
• Just yesterday, 3 of our comrades receive their office orders to be transferred to a remote part of Palawan. 3 qualified ATCs (ratings being withheld) who is tasked to man a non controlled ATS facility. Gosh.I thought we are undermanned here in Manila. How stupid can management get?

The funny thing is, the people that benefitted more from PATCA are the same people who are giving PATCA a hard time. I thought we Filipinos value "utang na loob"?

When are you gonna wake up? Aren't you tired of living the nightmare? Don't tell me you don't care since fortunately for now, you are not affected. Well sorry to burst your bubble but pretty soon you'll feel the effects too and it might be too late.
