Canadian_atc,

Over 100k a year considering overtime. . .for a starting controller. . .amazing.

Not that I think a privatized system here in the states would increase pay, or increase safety, but wow. Very nice.

And Chip, I can understand junior enlisted members leaving the military. Getting back into the civilian world yields a certain increase in QOL that can't be achieved if one were to stay in the military. Not knocking you for your decision. Even if all the military or DOD controllers left their respective agencies the FAA would still be up crap creek without a paddle in regards to staffing.
