JohnMitchell 16 #45 May 8, 2008 I'm an enroute air traffic controller. Instead of a tower and a pair of binoculars, I have a radar scope and remote radio sites so I can work air traffic for hundreds of miles in all directions.

JohnMitchell 16 #49 May 8, 2008 Quote What are the stress levels like for that John? Many boozeheads, and High BP types? Yes, it reminds me a lot of the DZ.Seriously, some people thrive on it, and love the challenge, and strive to improve and do good work. Some folks I work with are scared of the job, but addicted to the pay. They tend to get staff jobs, sitting behind desks, and end up being supervisors and managers. I guess I'm in the first group. Over the years, I've had many offers to "advance" in the FAA, but I'm quite happy being a radar controller. Just like being a skydiving instructor, you're in a position to do a lot of good for a lot of people. I've even got a little collection of thank-you notes that pilots have sent me over the years. The job and I seem to be a good fit. Besides, someone has to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #50 May 8, 2008 Quote I heard that a lot of them burn out around 50. Not yet, just hit 50. At age 56, though, the FAA says we're used up. That's our mandatory retirement age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
