 Re: How to be an ATC?
Take it from me. I was hired right before they started implementing the new pay scale. Yeah for now anyways the average salary of 135k is gone. For the new guys anyways. Now understand for the traffic you work and what your paid it's a winning situation(in some cases). I would recommend the ATC field to any one. I am a high school grad but yet I have one of the most prestigious jobs I can think of that pays me 70K a year not bad I would say. Theres more than one way to make it into ATC. I took the Military route. Theres not only FAA theres contract towers which pay 25 an hour or theres DOD who pay on the GS scale. CTI is just one option. Don't limit your options. Most likely theres a vfr twr in you backyard that will pay you 50K+ a year for talking to a few Cessna(no offense). Do your homework first. GL |
