Hi all! My name is Sam Ogozalek, I cover transportation policy for Politico, I posted here a few days back. Thought I would pass this along: I asked the FAA what, exactly, Administrator Bryan Bedford wants from NATCA as a condition for providing the pay raise in the DHS spending bill. Here’s what the agency said — it’s not too specific but is the most I’ve heard so far:

Always happy to chat off-the-record via Signal: samogozalek.26. I appreciate your responses to my last post!

Hi all, my name is Sam Ogozalek, I write about transportation policy for Politico. I yesterday asked the FAA and NATCA about where things stand on the ATC 2026 pay bump included in the DHS spending bill. Spokespeople for both said they had no update to share. 

If anyone is willing to chat about the situation and what’s happening, I’d really appreciate it. I’m reachable on Signal at 607-386-3174 or samogozalek.26 — I’m happy to talk off-the-record or on background. Thanks for taking the time to read this, Sam
