Just say no.
You do realize a good portion of the seasoned controllers came up through the OTS ranks right?

When I have visited facilities so far, The vast majority of controllers there were like: "Awesome, a guy getting the job the way we used to get jobs here. You do know that is how most of us got hired in the first place right?"
