FAA Air Traffic Controller School

If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high school
diploma, the Federal Aviation Administration is taking applications for
air traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the
right age group (under 31) and with some effort they could reach a
salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years! You need only a
high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the
exam.

Fill out the application immediately - even if they don't know if they'd
want to attend immediately - it's the federal government and it may take
them months to call. The key is to apply NOW... There will be a lot of
retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training
to accommodate these openings. It's my understanding that the FAA rarely
has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted.

This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site
like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the
training program - after which you can transfer anywhere in the country
that has a tower. I hope you pass this information on to family &
friends.
