The arbitrator's award stated - Whatever else may be said of the White Book document, it is neither a “Collective Bargaining Agreement” nor an “Agreement.” How can the FAA still call it a contract?

They also included our 12 trainees, (about 8 of them don't count for staffing) in the bid process tying up days. I still love my job, but I hate my employer.

How much money does it cost the taxpayers every time these idiots rename or reorganize? We had "chiefs" now we have "managers", we were "fpl's" now we are "cpc's", "trainee's" are now "developmental's", "supes" are "flm's"...can you imagine how many orders and pubs needed to be rewritten for each of those changes? Why did we need those changes? Come up with a new acronym and you can spend the next 5 years getting it in the books, talk about job security.
