Brodowy v. United States

BRYSON, Circuit Judge.

This is a pay conversion case. The appellants are ten current or former Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers who are seeking to recover pay lost due to the government’s failure to provide them with a two-step pay increase when they transferred to higher level airport facilities. The United States Court of Federal Claims dismissed their complaint for lack of jurisdiction. Although we hold that the trial court had jurisdiction over the claim, we affirm the dismissal because the appellants failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted.
