Employee shortages are seen in maintenance staff, electricians and plumbers at FAI.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Employee shortages at Fairbanks International Airport have affected maintenance staff, electricians and plumbers at the facility.
“We actually go out and work on the active runway. We talk to air traffic control. We are very well trained,” said the anonymous employee. In the fall of 2022, word came that maintenance workers at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage would receive what used to be called “Mission Critical Incentive Pay.”
“It’s not actually the state spending more money on this issue, but it’s the state sort of putting the investments across the board for different regions of Alaska,” said Fairbanks representative Ashley Carrick. However, to use the money for incentive pay, DOT must first secure a receipt authority from the legislature, Carrick said. “The state operating budget for both FY 23, so last year’s budget, and the budget we’re currently approving, FY 24′s budget, has to have that receipt authority as part of the budget in order to actually allocate or grant that incentive pay.”
As long as these measures stay in the budget, and are passed along with it, the process can move forward. According to Carrick, “The money should survive through the budget process in the legislature, but even at that point, it’s still subject to dispersal through the Department of Transportation and the Department of Administration through the Alaska Labor Relations Agency.”
