Actuality; Patco

- Transcript
Sunday morning, Oklahoma air traffic controllers joined with other controllers across the nation in informational pickets of major airports and control centers. I spoke with Tim Burley Camp of Pat Co. at Will Rogers World Airport yesterday morning. I asked him, what are you trying to accomplish with this picket? It's nothing more than an informational picket in order to inform people in the users of the system exactly what is going on between the FAA and the special aircraft controllers organization. While we are in negotiation, the fact that our contract has expired and controllers are out for nothing more than they're in a just position in the aviation society is. How long will this picketing last? Well, at the current time, it will be going for these two days, Sunday and Monday. And upon the end of those two days, we'll have to see how negotiations are going with the FAA in Washington. Our legislations are moving on.
What is happening at the barking table right now? No known in formalities at this time, otherwise everybody sits down at the table introducing who they are, what the issues are and reading them, they'll form the way, interpretation. We're also moving at the same time in a parallel road with legislation, which we do have bills introduced in front of Congress, 1576 is a number of it, and I believe the child of my five is introduced to do the Senate on Thursday, so we'll have to see how those roads go to. Is there a possibility that this picketing will lead to a strike? Okay. We've just been getting opportunity in every way to a vertical strike, I cannot say that we're at one at this time, it depends on everybody that we're working with.
