I am about to send a six-page letter to the FAA Administrator on how the Air Traffic Division and Union, due to incompetence in not knowing the requirements according to the law under the circumstances, actually CAUSED the FAA to LOSE approximately $16 million in overpayments to all other controllers that the illegal agreement was NOT applied to, since the raises all came from a fixed amount of $200 million spread over a 3-year period. When I asked the Compensation Policy Manager, "What happens after the distribution of the $200 million?", he replied, "Then it becomes the cost of doing business", so pay did not go back down after the distribution, therefore, the incorrect distribution has been continuous for the last 14.8 years, since October, 1999, the second year of the distribution. If you cheat 165 controllers out of an average of $7,000 per year (by failing to give us retroactive higher-percentage raises when we finally moved to our new facilities after the 14-month delay in contracting out our Level One towers), it caused all other controllers (around 17,650) to get $2.51 per paycheck extra, enough to buy two candy bars every two weeks. Because of subsequent pay raises the overpayments have averaged $3.00 per paycheck for the last 14.8 years, and the current overpayment to any ex-GS controller who is still working and has been working since before October, 1998, when the pay system changed and the distribution began is at $3.50 per paycheck. So, the FAA LOST approximately $16 MILLION in overpayments during the last 14.8 years, and since most of us 165 who were cheated were only cheated on a temporary basis, we are owed LESS than $7 million, which includes the money to pay the 3 of us who I am aware of who resigned because of it ("constructive discharge", same as wrongful termination) as if we never resigned and have worked at the correct level of pay since resignation (I will not work for an employer who is STEALING $20,700 per year worth of labor from me). So, they can recover the $16 million over the next two years, which would only affect the still-working controllers by $22.05 per paycheck, and any retiree by a MAXIMUM of $47 per MONTH for the two years, if he or she JUST retired, say, last month, and GAIN the FAA AT LEAST $9 million back into their bank account over the next two years. A deal they cannot refuse, because President Obama issued a "Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies" on March 10, 2010, for, "Finding and Recapturing Improper Payments", which includes overpayments to Federal employees, and there is NO statute of limitation on recovery of overpayments to Federal employees. So, they will have to pay me from April, 2003, until November, 2013, (when I reached mandatory retirement age) at an average of $120,000 per year for the 10.5 years (IF I HAD MOVED AS SCHEDULED, instead of being delayed by 14 months, and stayed at the Boeing Field FAA tower in Seattle until retiring, I would have retired at a salary of $140,000 per year last November, and my retirement income would be around $75,000 per year), as at any time since I resigned FAA management could have contacted me, apologized to me, and rehired me at the correct level of pay, but failed to do so. So, I will let you know what happens here pretty soon.
