Good Afternoon All,
It is getting close to bidding time again, we are trying to get the MOU briefings done 10/11-10/17 and bidding on or close to 10/18. Also, just a reminder that if you will not be able to access the bidATC website to complete your bid, you must provide your area rep with a proxy or you will be skipped.
Wifi
Matt Coughlin gave me an update on the sign ups, it looks like we’re sitting at about 50% of you all signed up. Great progress! We are looking to shut down the old wifi setup next Saturday, October 8th. Please get that done so you don’t have a break in wifi service. As a reminder, here’s the previous messaging:
Join the NATCA-Members Wifi (password: membersonly)
You will get a pop-up “splash” page similar to what happens when you attempt to join a hotel’s wifi. On that screen there will be an email (natcazsewifi@gmail.com). Send an email to that address requesting a login for the wifi.
Once you receive a reply with your username and password, rejoin the NATCA_Members wifi and log in with the username and password that was emailed to you.
You could also just directly email natcazsewifi@gmail.com to get your sign-in and then access the wifi with that username and password. Please retain this username and password as you will be using it for all your devices. Do not share this password with anyone, every member will have their own. Matt and Devin are processing these all individually so please be patient when waiting for your sign in information.
UNUM sign up extended
Arguably one of the most important and valuable NATCA benefits is the disability insurance available through UNUM. It is no secret that we can lose our medical at the slightest hint of a problem. Please consider taking advantage of this and protecting your assets. The open season has been extended to October 7th and we are unsure as to when the next open season will be.
“For over twenty years NATCA’s LTD plan has protected our members' income and given participants peace of mind. We have seen it pay out over $21 million in claims. We have seen and heard from numerous members about how this coverage has saved homes, kept cars from being repossessed, and paid everyday bills,” Board of Trustee Chair John Bratcher said. “Many of our members don't realize what a catastrophic disability can do to their income. The one statement we hear most from our claimants is, 'I don't know what I would have done without it.'”
Don't delay your protection any longer. Sign up today at natcadisability.com.
