NATCA is returning to its roots. Delegates at the 19th Biennial Convention in Fort Lauderdale selected Chicago as the site for the 21st Biennial Convention. Scheduled for April 27-29, 2027, the event will take place at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk.
NATCA President Nick Daniels appeared on @CNN, @ABC, @BBCWorld, and @NewsNation and warned of the growing risk to the NAS as controllers and other aviation safety professionals continue to go unpaid during the government shutdown. #EndTheShutdown
NATCA air traffic controllers turned out at 20 airports across the nation to educate travelers about the real-world consequences of the government shutdown. #EndTheShutdown
Ending the government shutdown remains a shared goal of @NATCA, @ALPA, and @AFA_CWA. Maintaining safety and efficiency of the National Air Space System (NAS) should be the only concern of all who operate the NAS. #EndTheShutdown
NATCA members describe what missing a paycheck means to them and their families. Zero-dollar paychecks mean worries about paying for food, covering rent or mortgage, and affording childcare necessary to go to work. #EndTheShutdown#NATCA https://t.co/twpWZ3kFrk
With the government shutdown, American air traffic controllers will receive a $0 paycheck on Tuesday. They aren’t getting paid for the vital work they perform managing the air travel of millions of Americans on tens of thousands of flights. #EndTheShutdown#NATCA
Following his March 4 House hearing, NATCA President Nick Daniels took questions from the media. Multiple outlets, including @Fox5DC covered the hearing and highlighted important aspects of his testimony. https://t.co/CuDVfP4DYs #AviationNews#AviationSafety#NATCAintheNews
Super excited with @FAANews, @NATCA, and @SpaceX this week.
Working to improve the safety of the national air space system.
Thank you @elonmusk and @POTUS for your vision and focus on safety
Our air traffic controllers are the best. Full stop. They deserve our support, our investment in the best technology, focus on increased staffing that will take many years because the qualifications and training are significant. Few can do what they do. We can’t ✈️ w/o, @NATCA
“Any certified air traffic controller out there, it doesn’t matter their race, color, religion, you can know you’re in the best hands”: Nick Daniels, president of @NATCA, says it takes years for a newly-hired air traffic controller to complete all of the proper tests and training in order to directly communicate with aircraft.
Daniels also told @tonydokoupil that “it is not uncommon to routinely combine…positions,” as there is currently a controller shortage in the U.S.
Fort Worth Center (ZFW) controllers Chris Clavin and Randy Wilkins worked to find a place for a Cessna pilot to fly to and land safely as he flew in solid IFR conditions. For their assistance, Clavin and Wilkins will receive an Archie League Award. https://t.co/ZKWLZJzOgA
