This section was pretty interesting and very important because this hidden phenomenon can mean life or death for the pilots flying in your airspace. Most passengers don't realize what is going on...

Well, since jetcareers has a blog option here, I figured I may as well use it. I'm planning on using this as a day-to-day journal of my journey as an soon-to-be Air Traffic Controller. Hopefully some other people will find my experiences useful, as well as being able to get a general idea of how long this process can be. So here we go......

First off, a little bit about myself. I recently graduated from Utah State University as a professional pilot. With pilot jobs being pretty rare...
