Who Wants to Be An Air Traffic Controller?
Back in 1981, President Ronald Reagan fired thousands of striking air traffic controllers. Since then, a problem has been building as the number of air traffic controllers who replaced the fired controllers are/have all becoming/become eligible for retirement all at nearly the same time. That means that for nearly the last decade, the F.A.A. has had to become increasingly creative in how they are going about cultivating interest in attracting qualified candidates who want to become air traffic controllers. If you are less than 31-years of age, and you desire a career field in which you could gain immediate respect, authority, an unparalleled level of responsibility, and a realistically attainable annual salary of more than $100,000 per year in a relatively short period of time, then now is the time to start applying for positions as an air traffic control specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration. Simply go to www.faa.gov/jobs and search the vacancy announcements for these positions today. The F.A.A. is being very aggressive in their hiring like never before. So, go get ‘em folks. Your government is anxiously awaiting the next generation air traffic controllers who deserve those six figured salaries while doing one of the most self-gratifying jobs that I personally have ever done.
