Looking for a new career that pays 150k+? GTFIH (HIRING!!)

[jaydawg08]

Why the age limit discrimination tho?

There's a very steep mental decline after 56 in this job, and they want you to get at least 20 yrs of service in.

There's a mandatory retirement age of 56 (but you can retire at 50), but you get a 6 figure pension along with however much in your TSP.

Not uncommon people end up with $4mil + from retirement savings plus their yearly 6 figure pension.

Yeah I gotta go for Majors. My only gripe is I have an Associates. I wonder will they lower standards for that.

Its a progression.. you need a certain amount of hours and ratings on planes to hit a majors. Most start at a regional to get those sort of hours and ratings on planes then progress up to a major airline

Isn't it one of the hardest and most stressful jobs in the world?

Never heard this before but I will say one thing if you are dude who cannot follow instructions and he consistent this is not the job.

You will get fired instantly if you even close your eyes half way shut. Some of these dudes can’t even consistently wake up for work on time

fukk around and have these depressed, no p*ssy having ass nikkaz responsible for flight paths.

Remember hearing how there was a big need for these roles
Sure the job is hell during bad weather or holiday travel but few jobs paying $150k+ have low stress
Job security and pension sound like a good deal

It's why you always put headings in the 4th line as an ATC so you can have a visual of what you gave. But also unrealistic to an extent cause modern commerical airliners have TCAS which would alert the pilot of another aircraft and give instructions to miss

No degree. $150k. Retire at 56.

I'm applying at 31 anyway. fukk it.

 

[Spiider]

I’m broke and desperate for a job so thanks, I’ll try this out

 

[CarbonBraddock]

You also need to be UNDER 31 YEARS OLD.


Why the fukk is this? And you also might wanna put that as the first sentence so people don't spend 5 minutes reading just to find out they can't apply for whatever dumbass reason these white people made up.

 

[cobra]

Too old to apply, but i'm so comfortable with remote work, I wouldn't apply anyway, even for the $150K

just direct the flights from your home in pajamas

oops i was on the PS5 for a few minutes

 

[Chrishaune]

I thought about it years ago.

I was sick of sitting at a desk back then though, so I passed. I still don't want to sit at a desk.

 

[chuckifubuck]

Im also a controller and I can attest to what breh is saying


The stress thing is wayy overrated. OKC sucks, but even if you wash out you can stack an ok amount of money off the per diem. Training fukking sucks unless you go to a cake tower. Some facilities (New york center and approach, chicago tracon, fukking oakland center) are black holes where trainees go to die and you are guaranteed a 6 day workwee when you get certified.

Once you are checked out tho its usually super chill. Even when Its busy as fukk or theres a bunch of weather around, you go home and dont have to think twice about your job. Its really good money and theres lots of opportunities to move up either as a controller, office jobs or management

If they want you to have 20 years in and a mandatory retirement at 56, why isn't 36 the cutoff age? I don't expect you to have the answer to this, you didn't make the rule, I'm just pointing out how contradictory this is...

Also I'm guessing as a federal career a criminal background is a no-go?

They do a background check, if you got enroute you need to get a "secret" security clearance. Don't think you do if you do for tower. Regardless, gotta pass a background (no felonies, no DUI although recently they've been lenient on it, etc)
