From personal experience, I can say this is a well run outfit by good people. You will fly a lot, become tight on your radio procedures (due to FRZ & ADIZ), and see some cool stuff only found in the airspace above our Nation's Capital.

Did you say "pay is awesome"?? Lets see after taxes take home pay is just over 1900$ a month. Washington DC is one of the most expensive cities in America.

Dude, $1900 is still twice what I take home after taxes from my traffic watch gig.
