The Song Remains
We want to take this opportunity to re-visit a topic mentioned in our post of 8/30/05 (“The Lies of Ventris Gibson”). There, we dissected Ms. Gibson’s claim as evidence of 'good faith' that the fired AFSS controllers would have a two-year re-hire preference on jobs for which they are “well qualified.” At the time we called this “an empty benefit.”
After almost 6 months our description seems accurate. Since the Lockheed takeover on 10/4/05, very few controllers have been able to find positions elsewhere in the FAA despite control facilities that are begging for people. One employee who passed the controller screen has sent out 50 applications and made only one interview list. Again, Ms. Gibson is lying when she says “We went all out” to place employees within the agency.
