Since the topic of forming our own Weather Observing Association is floating around, I thought I'd poll the observing community here for some feedback. The other option is joining the AWCIA. Please feel free to discuss here after voting. |

Sorry, I'm drawing a blank on the acronym... AAAE ?
And while we need an advocate that is willing to lobby for the program - PATCO is way too quiet - WE are PATCO: time to get someone in there who would be willing to do the lobbying. Can we dump Sam? Is that the answer? I've found the union quite helpful on CBA related issues and wages, but since Jerry left, they've been almost incommunicado. But is paying a lobbying organization the answer? I appreciate the question and all the info Chachiman, but I need more info on what else we can do before I'll vote on this. How much would I be willing to pay to keep my job? - maybe, if it can be shown to be a strong effort, quite a lot...

AAAE - American Association of Airport Executives. They're a stakeholder and a proven supporter of the program. www.nwaaae.org/ |

I am on board with AAAE helping us start an association for Contract Weather Observers. Skobie, hit me up with what we need to do to get the ball rolling on this.
