FSS FIC Pay Rates

Post by DHC-1 Jockey »

Hi, I was just curious about something in regards to the FSS CBA and how FSS are paid vs controllers. I know that ATC's are paid ATC-0 and upwards based on the tower classification, and if I understand it correctly, I believe all IFR are ATC-7.

For FSS, I'm under the assumption that they operate in the same fashion (the location and complexity determines the pay level), but I'm most curious about the FIC's specifically: are they all paid the same level in the same way that all IFR are paid the same level? I see that the CBA has pay-scales for FSS-A, FSS-B as well as FSS-1, FSS-2, etc. What is the pay classification level for the FIC's?

Thanks.

IFR controllers are ATC-6 as well as the 4 major control towers.

ATC-7 is for supervisors.

Just curious, is this public information or insider info? I know NavCanada lists the pay range on their website for FSS and ATC but not to this detail with the various levels.

I’m pretty sure the CATCA collective agreement is fairly easy to find online. If it’s outdated you’ll get a good idea. Our latest contract is from 2019-2023. 3% per year.

Any collective agreement (at least those working within a federal jurisdiction) can be found on the Government of Canada Labour website at http://negotech.labour.gc.ca/cgi-bin/Re ... ture=en-CA

All of the NavCanada CBA's are on there, even for maintenance personnel and the NavCanada flight-check pilots and AIM department. The current CBA for both ATC and FSS isn't up on the NEGOTECH website yet, but as Braun said, you can read the previous one and just add the 3% to the payscale.

You are correct however in that the CBA does not show what each classification each unit has.

Thanks for the response Braun, but I'm interested in the FIC specific pay scales. I have the ATSAC CBA but I just don't know what the FIC pay-level is. If someone from the ATSAC side could chime in or PM me, it would be appreciated.

1, 2, 3 is years of service, you move up one step on the anniversary of your checkout.

I believe the FICs are considered D level sites, supervisors would be E level.

Yeah, no worries, I got that. Was just clarifying to the ACC/IFR part. I have no idea what the FSS/FIC pay rates are. Sorry.
