FSS is not ATC, they are two different career tracks. It used to be that controllers who just could do the job could go into FSS, but they had to retrain at FSS school. FSS school was a lot more weather intensive than ATC school. Also, FSS guys don't make the money ATC does.

Personally, I've had enough bad experiences with FSS guys being a pain in the neck that I just don't talk to them anymore. You can find what you need to know via the internet and not bother with FSS.

Do they come from the same hiring pool? Like the CTI grads?
