This story doesn't give me a warm fuzzy, that there won't be a repeat of the fiasco on January 15.

Noticing a lot of unfamiliar voices on the ATC transmissions.

Wow, you must be a big listener to the ATC, that you recognize voices!! So I'm guessing the story is correct, that they have fired several people??

Agreed. I haven't heard Sophie in awhile.

There is a man staying here at the Toad who claims to be from The Hague. Yesterday he left all dressed in a suit and tie and I wondered what he is doing (I would never ask outright). Last evening at happy hour here I tried to suripetusly question him.

I mentioned I had heard of a possible strike at airport and everyone sighed Oh No! Except him. He said he doubted it. Longer story too much to tell here but he said in passing that he was once anATC.

We also discussed Madeline Albright passing and he said he was once a leison to her and she was a fine woman. I also found out his wife (at home) is caring for 14 dogs.

If anyone here is close to the Toads owners perhaps they can glean more info.

As I sit writing this the man, all suited up, got into a cab here. Destination unknown to me.

Interesting. Thanks for the note! Glad that he thinks there will be no strike.

Of course we don’t know what HIS opinion is worth. Lol
