This will be held in D.C. May 29-30 and will cover the implementation of the RESPECT
initiative along with restructuring of the PS program.
To date, the PS program has received 2,981 submissions with 90 percent of those
being resolved. That's 2,683 issues that NATCA was able to resolve at the lowest level,
peer-to-peer, without management involvement in the outcome. Approximately 70
percent of these cases are submitted by management, demonstrating the FAA's belief
that the peer-to-peer method used by the program is working. The recidivism rate is
very low, indicating that the one-on-one discussions between committee members and
controllers has a long-lasting, positive effect on the safety of the system and the
professionalism of our controllers.
We now have an active PS tab on the NATCA website. It covers information for
FacReps, members, and PS members, with contact information for all active committee
members and district chairpersons. We also have a link to email us directly. Please take
a moment and check it out!
National committee members have been attending regional FacRep meetings to answer
questions and identify opportunities for FacReps to better utilize their local PS
programs.
If you have any questions about the Professional Standards Program, please don't
hesitate to contact any of the NATCA national professional standards committee
members at ps@natca.net.
