This is unconscionable. It is a slap in the face of every government employee who thought signing that paper actually meant something. By accepting a job with the FAA, we gave up the right to strike, period. What they do want, is to soak the American taxpayer for an increased retirement annuity, and some sense of redemption for themselves. They will also try to convince you that all or most of current airline delays are to be blamed on the poor quality of controllers hired after the strike.
Airlines routinely schedule multiple aircraft to depart from the same airport at the same time.
Now figure in the multiple arrivals scheduled at the same time, weather conditions, and sharing available runway resources. It doesn't take a math genius to figure out why we have delays. It wants to force the FAA to stop hiring all other applicants, until the fired strikers that want their jobs back, get them back. Oh yes, and they also want back pay from 1993 until the present. I can only hope that the next administration, along with other elected officials, will see the error of Mr. Clinton's judgment, and push for reinstatement of the FAA hiring prohibition for fired strikers.
