^ haha well played sir, sorry
Question that seems like a really interesting job, what schooling do you have to do and is it true it is ridiculously stressful? I could only imagine being in control of all that. |
|
wow impressive, but I don't think that quite conveys it enough lol.
Ok next question the single worst experience I have had with flying. When being taxied to the runway a plane a good ways ahead of us took off through a flock of birds so we had to sit on the tarmac for I think an hour and a half while they cleaned the runway off. How often does this happen? |

There are a few ways to get in if you're really interested. You can join the military as a controller, and then when you get out you are qualified. You can go to college and get an aviation degree, which is what I did even though I was also in the USAF (weather man.) Or you can apply for a slot right off the street. There are certain rules of course as far as age, background checks, if you have any speech problems etc. Here is a good site: NATCA | About NATCA | How to Become an Air Traffic Controller Let me know if you have any questions. |

Good info thanks. Currently I'm in school for Finance, this has always intrigued me since I have flown a lot in my life. It always seemed to me to be the behind the scenes yet most important people, which I know it is now that I'm older, but that is why I always liked it. Just never knew what it took to become one.

I couldn't see the runway, it was a flight out of Philly that was already behind schedule, and I'm assuming since we were just being taxied and pretty far behind on the runway is why it took so long. Nothing went right that flight though, we had electrical problems before we left the gate, the bird flock, missed the connecting flight because of it, oh I'm just going to stop there it pains me to think about lol.

Wow Tin, that honestly doesn't sound like too bad of a gig.
Anything local I might be able to look into? How is the job hiring/turnover rate right now for air traffic controllers? |
