    FAA To Change Age Retirement Rules For Air Traffic Controllers

    "Dude, if you can retire at 56 with a full pension why would you continue working." Because under CSRS even full pension is much less than the annual pay for a CPC. Retiring under the FERS retirement system is even less advantageous. Continuing to work provides the continued higher income...

    FAA To Change Age Retirement Rules For Air Traffic Controllers

    read the fine print This is not a retirement age policy change. In late 2009 the FAA embraced ATSAP a self reporting safety culture that mirrors the ASAP programs currently in place at many air carriers. The only change is now applicants for the waiver no longer must certify that they have...

    Gulfstreams SoCal

    There is an add on one of the job sites promoting a 'fantastic' opportunity in GIII GIV G450s. Does any one know who this might be? Fax # does not match Jet Edge or Transexec contact #s the likely matches based on fleet description.

    Random ATC question

    I have NEVER seen a supe plug in and override a CPC controller..... Too much liability and at many big facilities supes are not certified on more than a few of the positions in the Facility/Area they supervise and many are not comfortable on the ones they can work. Not a slam just the way it is...

    Disney Interviewed two years ago...at that time 1 GLEX 1 CL60. KBUR based with an additional GLEX about to be delivered if my recall is correct. Sounded like a great gig; I passed on a second level interview for other reasons but probably passed up a super job.

    ATC Shortage; why age restriction?

    The age restriction is driven by several factors... 1. age 31 in plus 25 year retirement=age 56 mandatory retirement. The government wants its time out you, which is fine. 2. Generally ATC skills decline with age. Experience gradually subs for raw talent. Most peak around 35-40 where...

    Working for atc

    Apologies I had the wrong link saved. According to FAA HR there may be another application window for public hires around the August timeframe. The success rate of 'PUB' hires at the large facilities has been very low. The lower level facilities that are in the local commuting area of big...

    Working for atc

    ATA positions are not ATC career positions. They pay around 35K and do not have federal career progression. They are not an end around for a GS-2152 ATC position you do not meet the age requirements for an ATC appointment.

    Is weather required to issue an approach clearance

    ATC doesn't care if you are 91/135 or 121. Few controllers know the regulatory differences and even fewer care. In the entire 7110.65 ATC bible there is almost no mention of the above. ATC provides separation and sequencing and those minima dont change with your carrier cert; besides with a...

    Working for atc

    Typical 2009 OSI/SCI/locality increase was around 4.9%. Four more of those and your damn close...granted there are some assumptions there but its hardly the pie-in-sky you make it sound. Additionally if NATCA gets a contract back which it will under a LaHood/Garvey/Babbit FAA it could well be...

    Working for atc

    Ok valid points and the FAA staffing plan has been a 25 year loser no doubt and the B scale needs to go away. . But if I live in Northern California and I accept a position at Norcal Tracon I can reasonably expect to checkout in 2 yrs (if I make it) and I can make 115K without OT that year and...
