To date, the Professional Standards program has received 2,375 submissions with 90% of those being resolved. That's 2 , 136 issues that NATCA was able to resolve the issue at the lowest level, peer - to - p eer, without management involvement in the outcome. Approximately 70% of those cases were 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 ha ve a long - lasting, positive effect on the safety of the system and the professionalism of our controllers.
