You don't need Google breh. I got this from my cousin, we both drove to ATL in 2010 to take the Air Traffic Controller. He passed and I didn't


They transferred him to Texas to train then shipped him to Des Moines where he lived for a few years then he coulld pick the next spot.

He moved to St Louis got married and my little baby cousin is expected in September.

Yep 120K in St Louis.

You got to work the strangest hours. You wont last. If a job pays 120k and has constant openings there's a big reason for it

Nah Trump trying to cut the FAA and privatize it. If that go through whole system up for who knows.

The hiring process is BS. It takes months from when you fill out the application to actually being assigned somewhere

Again, I've had two relatives that were air traffic controllers, my cousin now and my uncle who just passed early this year that setup me and my cousin for the test in 2010

Say what you want about them ATC but my uncle's son just inherited 2 milly in total assets from my uncle and the house my uncle owned that is paid in full.

Its a legit lucrative career. Its not the cash register at mcDonald breh of course it takes time.

you gotta understand. some nikkas will have excuses no matter what. here's an opportunity plainly laid out yet you have the excuse train coming already.

bbbb-b-bbut I have to move to Iowa? I have to study for 9 months? I have to work some odd hours here or there and be uncomfortable for a little bit? You mean they won't just hand you the 120k for free?
