6. Federal Aviation Administration Birth of the ETR Before COO Russ Chew, we handled Labor Relation issues through the 540 branch in the Regional Office. When the ATO was formed, we established the Service Centers with Directors of Operation and Senior Advisors. The Directors quickly realized that the Senior Advisors were overwhelmed with Operational and Labor issues. In 2009, the ETR position was formed to take the Labor Relation issues. 6 - 6NHCFAE Briefing
