Good Afternoon, hopefully, you’re staying warm, I believe the high for tomorrow is in the low 20s. I don’t believe we’re supposed to have a lot of snow or ice the next couple of days but just as a reminder, you have the protections of Article 19 in the event there is a hazardous weather/geological condition that would put you at risk of harm to travel to work. Please check that out sometime to read the details but also, the NNM ARVP made a video last year giving a quick synopsis of Article 19. You can watch that HERE.
The Native American Alaska Native (NAAN) Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees
Ranelle Yazzie of NAAN will have a booth set up in the cafeteria on Thursday, January 18th from 9am to 3pm. Please feel free to stop by their booth, it is a wonderful learning experience. From their website: “FAA Native American Alaska Native Coalition (NAAN) is an organization for all. You do not have to be Native American to join. Join today and partner with an organization that promotes inclusion.”
Secretary Pete EA
I know this causes such a mess every time this comes out and we have always tried to get the front office on board with some sort of standard ops but it just hasn’t taken hold. I had a long conversation with Dawn today and this is what we came up with:
We're not going to put anything in writing because it's not an entitlement, and difficult to get the nuances of every situation.
The goal is to "spread the wealth." This means that rather than getting one person 3 hours, the goal will be to get 3 people 1 hour. Some people have used the term, "first in, first out." So the 6s would be first on the list, then the 7s, and so on.
We are going to finish muddling through today but the plan is to have it messaged to all the supes in time for President's Day.
I will be in DC next week for our yearly Right From the Start program meeting. I will be available by phone but Ligaya will be the acting FacRep.
