Currently one of those *#@ pilots, but was a military controller.

NS Rota Spain,
NAS Oceana
NAS Pensacola
CVN-74 USS John C. Stennis (plankowner thank you)
CVN-73 USS George Washington

Found it was more fun to fly the hold and swear than by sworn at.

Congrats on SBA. I know quite a few of the controllers there, and I'm actually flying my IOE with Skywest out of SBA. It's a beautiful facility in paradise. Unfortunately, the FAA management is completely screwed up, but so goes life.

If you're just getting hired with ATC, you got a LONG way to go to get to retirement. By then, there may not even be pilots !!!!!!

Ok, shoot with the questions,

Tony

Hello everyone. I started my ATC carreer at FAR in 1983. Moved to MLI for six years, then back to MN in 1994 to be closer to family. Here I certified at MIC and STP, and spent 15 months at M98 (Minneapolis TRACON) where I was certified on departure control. I was an OJTI at FAR, MLI and MIC. No enroute experience.

I retired from the FAA 1 June 2007. I was active in NATCA as a facility rep at MLI and MIC, and am a retired member.

Traffic is moderate at best and airspace is small (who decided to put a restricted area directly off of both runways 10 miles away? seriously WTF) Thinking about going to the pilot side of things when my last 3 years is up

Are the lights on a plane (green + red) similar to those of a traffic light?
