I messed up at work today! :-(

So you've never made a mistake and ATC gave you a break and didn't report it for a pilot deviation? Give the guy a break. Everyone makes mistakes. Pilots screw up on crossing restrictions and such every day and controllers let it slide. Give them the same courtesy.

Yeah I make mistakes but regardless I always cover my Azz. I dont take the controller words for it. CYA

Time to join? Please, IM the UNION REP at my facility. I don't loose seperation, an operation deviation is busting an LOA or putting a plane in another controllers airspace with out a handoff. Mine wasn't too severe and the sup and the flow guys at NCT really didn't care too much but I always try to run a tight ship.

You are being WAAAAAY too hard on yourself. I think most all pilots and controllers (the good ones, anyway) are tough on themselves for every little thing they do well and not so well. I am glad that you have such high standards and am also glad that you recognize where you can make improvements. More of us need to do that more often.

Well....since you are the Rep I suggest you report to yourself that you went over two hours without a duty break and violated the contract.

Lrjtcaptain;

Welcome to the club, you're another imperfect, fallible, human being. Use the mistakes to rededicate yourself to an error-free performance. Spend some time going over the events that led up to the OD's. Pick them apart piece by piece and use the understanding gained to color and shade your future performance as a controller.

Do you guys have an FAA version of an ASAP program, or are you stuck with the ASRS?

douchebaggery

Read Paco's profile and look at his typical response. He comes in a couple times a day, displays some douchebaggery on a couple threads and leaves. Perfect candidate for the "ignore" function.

See it's OK to BE a douchebag, if you were born that way or just can't help it. But it's not OK to advertise it.
"I cover my own azz" ... Yeah, you're all azz.

Hey, Bro.

I was a radar operator at a SAM site in the mid 80's. Watching a crt for four hours at a time is tough. Six hours is brutal. Don't be so hard on yourself. Like some of the others said, learn from it.

If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, did a tree fall?
