Civilian fay; reclassification rights. — -Plaintiffs, seven of whom were employed in the grade of GS 12, as Supervisory Air Traffic Control Specialists (Tower), and thirty of whom were employed in grade GS 11 as Air Traffic Control Specialists (Tower) at Port Columbus Airport, Columbus, Ohio, by the Federal Aviation Agency, sue to recover the difference in pay between their grades and the next higher grade, in tbe case of each plaintiff, from July 1, 1964 to January 16, 1966, on which latter date all were reclassified to the next higher grade, or, in the alternative, from August 29, 1965, to January 16, 1966. On November 2, 1966, plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment claiming that under the Classification Standards of the Civil Service Commission pertaining to the positions held by plaintiffs, they were entitled to the reclassifications and pay increases since their tower handled more than 100,000 instrument operations during the required period and should have been classified as a Level III tower.
