I've been away from ATC for a long while so I don't know what the new regs are?
Thanks..
As far as I know there is no age limit when being hired this way... historically these companies would only hire those with a CTO AND prior experience. I have met some new people over the past year or so that graduated from one of the CTI schools with a CTO and were hired. Hiring in ATC , and aviation as a whole, is very market driven. The requirements all depend on what the employment pool at the time offer.
