Help me out. What happened in 1980?



Your 49' RV sank at the dock, but was hoisted out and fixed up.

Nope, not even built yet.

I hope you're not referring to the election of Ronald Reagan. We
could use someone with his common sense approach to leadership and
management right now.

Please. Our ATC system has never recovered, and is rapidly heading
straight down the tubes.

They played the strike card and RWR played the you are fired card. The
system recovered. It is the incompetent government contracting method
that has caused the problems.

It's the result of over crowded flight paths, antiquated equipment and
increased demand for flights.
The people in the ATC system do an amazing job under the circumstances. It
has nothing to do with Ronny Wrinkles busting an illegal strike 20 years
ago.

Harry,
The ATC workers went on strike because they wanted a more money, a
reduced work week and a better retirement package. They did not address
or express any concerns about flight paths, equipment or an increase in
customer traffic.

Has anyone told you that your little hehehe does nothing to further a
discussion, but is very patronizing.

Correct me if I am wrong. Because of the massive negative affect on US
transportation, both personnel and commerce, the ATC strike was illegal,
even under the union contract conditions. Being illegal gave the executive
branch of the federal government the authority to intervene in behalf and in
the interest of the general population.

So, you are of the opinion that the ATC union had the right to ignore the
law and go on strike anyway?

Reagan did exactly the right thing and it wasn't unilateral. The union was
well advised of the consequences of a system shutdown and were strongly
encouraged to continue contract negotiations without violating the law.
They ignored the opportunities and got what they deserved.

It's amazing how the spin is applied 20 years later to support a political
agenda. I suppose if one says something loud enough and often enough some
people will begin to believe it.

Again, please correct me if I am in error.
