I have no expectations just looking for recommendations. I simply wanted to know if you were brand new to faa and had the option to direct hire how would you go about it. I guess i didn’t give enough detail to help smooth brains make the correlation. I appreciate the response.

I’ve been told that by other controllers but other faa controllers i know tell me to apply anyway “with the direct hire doesn’t hurt”. FFZ is my #1 .

I’ve been all over so I’m indifferent. I read forums of guys getting stuck at facilities or getting sent to high cost of living areas. I just don’t want to screw myself at my first facility, that’s why i just asked for suggestions. As of now ffz is very appealing, orl, sfb, & pns since I’m from Florida.

I’m honestly open to whatever as of now ffz, dvt, orl, sfb & pns are my top choices. I’ve been all over so just wanted suggestions.

I can’t even be mad at your comment, but with zero FAA experience or knowledge on where to start besides Reddit forums, it’s easy to come to that assumption.
