Garth Koleszar (ZLA) and Josh Cooper (SCT) are members of the National Professional Standards committee. Their report is below. The Professional Standards program is in its seventh year and continues to have a positive impact on the professiona lism of controllers nationwide. The program has 530 active members, with a total of over 850 trained to serve as committee members representing every facility in the National Airspace System. Committee members receive training on communication skills and conflict resolution during a three - day course taught by NATCA. The second class of FY18 will be held at ZLC, from Jan. 17 - 19, 2018. To date, the Professional Standards program has received 2,498 submi ssions with 90% of those being resolved. That's 2 , 247 issues that NATCA was able to resolve the issue at the lowest level, peer to peer, without management involvement in the outcome. Approximately 70% of those cases are submitted by management, demonstrat ing 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 Professional Standards tab on the NATCA website. It covers information for FacReps, m embers, and PS members, with contact information for all active Professional Standards Committee mem ber and District chairpersons.
