R25-48 AMEND: SRN-1 National Officer Salaries

The NATCA National President shall be compensated with an annual base salary of 1.85 times the amount of the FAA ATSPP Pay Band maximum for an ATC Level 12 Facility with no locality pay; the National Executive Vice President shall be compensated with an annual base salary of $5,000 less than the National President’s salary.
Additionally, the NATCA National President and Executive Vice President shall receive a bonus for each hour that a controller’s normal work week is reduced by, without a reduction in the controller’s annual base pay. The bonus shall be calculated based on the total reduction in the work week and method of change, as follows:

Contractual ChangesLegislative Changes
Per hour (1-7 hours)2.5%3.0%
Per hour (8 hours or more)2.75%3.25%

Rationale: As evident by the FAA’s own internal findings, excessive controller fatigue is rampant and widespread. This proposed change in SRN-1 creates an incentive for NATCA leadership to fight for a reduced work week in the interest of the flying public and the controllers’ personal health. A 32-hour work week has been discussed many times both within this career field and others as being beneficial to the output and quality of work performed. There is no need to wait for widespread changes to federal employee work rules for us to achieve this benefit as it is well understood that we are not average federal employees.
