This is a link to the current pay scales:

I think we're supposed to be an employee already in order to open this link.

I was told by our newest new-hire (at ATL Tower) that they are now paying per diem while you are in OKC in addition to your salary. And I have said it before, the folks who go to the Centers get messed over with repesct to training and career progression. The checkouts are much quicker at smaller towers and approach controls. We have SEVERAL (I think about 11 folks) who have gone from $32,000 (new hire pay) to fully certified in under a year. These people are now making roughly $90,000 per year before OT.


There is a post under ATC (if you look on page 2 or 3) entitled ATC BENEFITS. This thread describes in detail how much you get (with links that work) based upon your point in training. Also discusses other benies you get.

kaudbraun,
If you want to be considered, send it in now! The HR people will not move on until they have a complete file. This is not like the airlines, the govt must check all the boxes before they take action b/c they have to be accountable for everything they do!!

Yes, they now pay per diem in OKC.

Starting pay is in the mid 30s. At a level 11 facility, you make about $84,000 when checked out....depends on locality obviously. If you work Sundays, nights, OT, it will be more. Check out can be quick at a lower level facility....at a busy facility it can be at least 3 years.
