MONDAY, MARCH 2, 2015 NATCA DAILY DISPATCH 5 If you leave the Rio and spend some time on the Vegas strip, you'll undoubtedly run into a few (or a hundred) guys looking to hand you an advertisement for the various entertainment this town has to offer. Not to be outdone, we're handing out our own flippy cards stocked with info on some of NATCA's most important programs and committees. Don't just toss those cards when you're handed one – they're your ticket to win tons of great prizes! Note the number on the front of your card and the information on the back. If that number is called at any time throughout CFS, you'll get the chance to win big! Flipping Out for Safety Playing it Safe Everyone knows safety isn't boring, but who knew it could be so fun? We're putting teamwork to the test this year with Air Traffic Feud, an entertaining take on the popular show, "Family Feud." Four teams will go head to head, answering questions and proving their aviation and trivia knowledge. Two teams will face off on the CFS stage today and Tuesday, and the winners from those contests will compete in the Air Traffic Feud Championship on Wednesday! "We're really excited to change things up at Communicating for Safety 2015," says NSC Chair Steve Hansen. "There's going to be a lot of serious, technical information shared over the next few days, so this will be a fun break!" Stand by for announcements throughout CFS for other exciting contests happening over the next few days! NextGen is happening now, and NATCA is telling the flying public all about the successes.
