“It is a great day for NATCA, the employees at these towers, and the National Airspace System (NAS),” says NATCA Organizing Committee Chairman John Bratcher. “Anytime you can give a controller a voice in their workplace, it is better for all involved. Being able to give this voice to the employees at 15 towers at once increases NATCA’s voice in the NAS and can help all of us make change and move our profession forward. I am honored to welcome them to the NATCA Family and look forward to helping them be a part of the NATCA difference.”
