The smart A&$ in me says, anywhere the FFA has a facility.
In all honesty;
- Most ARTCC's are falling apart and offer you some serious health problems.
- NY area Center's and Terminal facilities are extremely expensive. As well as a good # of California facilities and facilities around major metropolitan areas. New hire money stinks.
- Good idea to start at a mid-level facility. Gives you a good foundation to build your entire career on. IE. DAB, SAV, ROA, RDU, ORF. Go on here and look a mid-level facilities - http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/..._Fact_Book.pdf
- Any extremely busy facilities. See above. If you fail at the busiest facilities, the FFA does not care how much you spent trying to become a controller. YOU ARE FIRED.
