I know it’s been a while since I’ve written update. We have a lot to go over so please read all the way to the end.
SECTOR 35/6 SLE corridor
The staff study has been sent back to OSG and will be going to Portland Tracon and cascade approach for comments. The Airspace Office is hoping to have the final package done by this Fall. Kevin Miller has indicated that once the final package is received/reviewed by the Region that it will get stamped for approval rather quickly. We have made great strides in our effort to get these issues resolved.
2024 SCHEDULE
Stan has given 2024 schedule negotiation responsibilities to Eric Chase. What that really means is still up for interpretation. However I think it’s a step in the right direction. With that I need your input and ideas for what you want next years schedule to look like. Send your ideas in an email to LG/CT and myself.
CREW ART TRACKING
OM’s and the Front Office have a new tracking website that tracks everything we do on duty time. I know this isn’t a surprise but we need to be diligent in moving ourselves on CREW ART. When you come back from break please move yourself down to Pre/Post. If you are assigned ELMS please make sure you are moving yourself down. From what I’ve seen this new website tracks everything and the better job we do in showing exactly what our day to day looks like the better argument we have for more bodies.
APPLIANCES
If we as an area want to keep the appliances in the control room we need to leave the microwave on the other side of the room. The building’s OSHA person had a meltdown over the way we had our setup all on one outlet. Please do not use the extension cord and drape it over the refrigerator.
LOCAL ELECTIONS
It’s that time again. For new people that aren’t familiar with UNION elections we have these every 2 years and you will get the cast your vote for: FACILITY PRESIDENT, FACILITY VP, TREASURER, SECRETARY and AREA REP. Nominations are made by you and if excepted the persons name will be on the ballot. Yes you can nominate yourself. I would like to see this year’s ballot have as many names as possible. For past few we have had most elections go uncontested. I will be sure to let you all know when the nomination period opens so we can get as many people as possible on the ballot.
If you need anything please call or text me.
