And I loved it.
I was working in Seymour Johnson AFB in the Control Tower that morning.
We had 4 Learjets and 3 C-140, for the FAA within two hours of that announcement, to pick up some of our air traffic controllers and fly them to go to work in the FAA facilities.
They had 2 hours to pack a bag and get on the planes.
We lost a total of one third of our controllers for almost 2 years to STRIKE BUST the FAA UNION!
Some of them were given a two hour over-the-should by their facility chief controller in the FAA and then left on their own to work traffic.
There were that many FAA controllers who walked out of the FAA and broke their contract with their responsibilities to FLIGHT SAFETY !
