PATCO Returns


Last seen on a large scale during the Air Traffic Controller strike in the early eighties PATCO is making a comeback.

On Friday the tower at Gary, Indiana voted hands down for PATCO as their Union, opposing NATCA the Union of choice in the area. PATCO believes that this could play a crucial role in their comeback from simply representing small FBO's to larger aircraft facilities. Similar elections are scheduled for the coming week in Trenton, Appleton, and Waukesha. The outcome of these elections will plat a crucial role in the comeback of PATCO.

It appears that PATCO is making a bid to retake what thet once owned. If there's one piece of advice to be given to any competeing Union I would say keep your ears opened for answers of what may have convinced Gary to vote away from the mainstream. Some are assuming that this may be because PATCO represents solely ATC's.
