Update??

[@Migwelp]

@@notsosmallalex6619 They sometimes take up to a year to give you a response. 6 months is the minimum at the moment, or so I'm told. Just submitted one myself yesterday evening. Here's hoping.

[@ebefit]

Also applied. Just filled out My EDOS and should be headed to Oklahoma soon. God is good

Christy and Dan, Thanks for the very informative and entertaining In the Hangar episode. Thanks to Rob, Scott and Matt for their insight and perspective into the inner workings of ATC and thanks to all ATC workers for keeping the rest of us out of each others way.

Great interview Christy. Too late for me at 67 but would have been a great career.

Tks Christy, so much interesting information.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Nice job, Christy. Lots of great info. It's way too late for me, but I don't have the brainpower to multitask anyway, so it's just as well. 😂

You can tell which controllers are pilots. They seem to understand requests better....

Been in the hiring/applicant process for some months, curious to see what OKC has waiting for me...

My baseball coach was an air traffic controller for BWI Mr. Joseph Mccluskey now deceased he would loss his job permanently due to the strike.....

[@timsaxer6442]

Has Micaiah Bennett applied yet? He enjoys monitoring pilots' performance.

who is here because of steezy kane? like if u are

[@ayekavine4918]

well i fall it hurts the ground

[@bettyscott9015]

some of the controllers back in the 60s were under paid before the strike. Many do not know what an aircraft looks like or does in flight. Job security is another thing. Get a stroke or heart attack, your gone for good. Who pays for your salary? No job has security any more. It will be fully automated in the years to come. Security?
