In today’s dollars under the GS scale, controllers at OKC would be earning GS-7 base pay $31740, plus the addition of general locality pay of 12.64% and 5% ATRA, for a total salary of $37339. Upon certifying at an ATC-11 facility they would be earning GS-14 pay with steady step increases graduating in 1, 2, or 3 year increments within a range of $93,071 to $120,990 in today’s dollars. These figures are calculated using today’s GS pay scales which determined our pay after the 1981 strike and are still in use throughout the government.

As a new academy graduate, the pay is $31,700 plus locality. The low end seems to be pretty close to me...it's the upper end that's not even close anymore.
