ATC Infoshare

One of NATCA’s top priorities has been to expand our members’ voice and input in the workplace. Communication and collaboration are the keys to improving our workplaces and being a part of changing the culture of the FAA to one that is more just and also more engaged, inclusive and responsive.

We often talk about modernizing the equipment and procedures we use. But building a collaborative relationship with the FAA is also an effort to modernize the “people side” of the FAA. Sitting on the sidelines is not an option. NATCA has said that it wants to be included and that it wants to see real change. Now we have that chance.

This section of the Web site is devoted to NATCA’s collaborative relationship with the FAA. Here, we spotlight the various programs and initiatives associated with collaboration.
