FAAMA Chapter 157 December dinner/Meeting Thursday Dec. 11, 6:30

Our December Chapter Dinner/meeting will be held this Thursday, December 11, at 6:30 PM. at Frank's Old Mill Steakhouse,
Hwy 54, Fayetteville, GA. (no it wasn't planned, it just happens to be Jack
Allen's Birthday). For those who have not, please RSVP to Daryl Daniels NLT noon,
Tuesday, Dec.9 so he can advise the restaurant of the number attending.

Fwd: FAAMA feedback request

FAAMA asked everyone a couple of weeks ago for what the impact and effect is to your facility and/or office on the reduction to the Other Than Controller Workforce staffing.  Is this hurting your productivity? Are you able to conduct performance management with these new numbers? Please send your feedback to our National officers or send it to me and I will forward to them. 

 

FAAMA has a Consultative Relationship agreement with the FAA.  We have a voice in the solution. 

 

 

Thank you for all that you are doing.
