He apologized for the delay but heТs been on travel and the mail system in DC isnТt back to normal yet. He enthusiastically agreed to conduct the hearing and make a recommendation to resolve our pay dispute. The FAA management chief negotiator and I will meet with Mr. Barnes sometime in the next few weeks to discuss some of the hearing details. The hearing date will be scheduled once the pay/work rules negotiations are complete. ItТs been a very busy week congressionally with a number of statements of support for the resolution of the pay impasse. IТll continue to meet with members on both sides of the aisle to also keep them advised of our staffing and equipment problems. IТve delayed scheduling the next meeting with Don Young until we have a better idea of timetables and any potential problems. IТve talked with NAATS Chief Negotiator Bill Dolan and emphasized that, while everyone is understandably anxious to schedule the hearing, I want Bill and his team to take the time they need to address our concerns. WeТll have a better feel for things after they complete their session next week. As important as pay is, it isnТt the only issue we have. Tomorrow afternoon the union president will meet with the Administrator to discuss the ATO. Obviously we have a number of questions and our hope is that she will answer all of them. Two representatives from the GAO interviewed me yesterday. The topic was the FAA since personnel reform and whether the FAA has taken advantage of their opportunities. I think you know the tone of my response.
