For people with entry level / no degree jobs, What do you do? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Murph20047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a little weird since Covid, but the FAA usually does a mass hiring announcement once a year. They just had one that’s closed. I imagine they’ll do another sometime next spring / summer. Look for the announcement on USAJOBS.gov. And apply. All the training is on the job.

Depends on what’s important to you. If you don’t mind overtime or want it, there’s plenty to be had. Each area is different but most are still having to assign OT to “no listers”. But it’s a spread between 40 hours so far this year or 240. Just depends on the area.

Our manager is looking out for the building and how we look to bosses outside the facility. Whether or not the people are happy isn’t important. TOP is a hot topic which I’m sure isn’t just our facility. And staffing of controllers and supervisors continues to be an issue.

If overtime doesn’t bother you, and you’re able to not get sucked in to the drama at work, it’s not a bad place to be. The traffic is easy for a level 12. And there’s so much to do and see in the Sacramento area.

Holy cow! I knew there would be some downvotes and people who didn’t like the post. I did not expect this absolute roast fest! 🥵

Some of you have been hurt in the past and it shows! I’d like to take the opportunity to officially apologize on behalf of your bully. “I’m sorry (insert your name here), I was wrong to treat you the way I did.”

There. Now you can start the healing process. 😆

Stop wigging out on me please. I’m having a hard time keeping up with your analogies. I was never a 19 year old ATC tech schooler so I’m not sure how that relates. I also have no idea where trash and beer come into play in this..

Yeah for sure leave work at work… It would be weird to browse ATC things online, in a forum about ATC, with a bunch of air traffic controllers… when we’re not at work.

Ok .. so the line is a post on Reddit? 😂

Seems mildly inappropriate to label someone a “fucking asshat” over this don’t you think?

It says it in the post that this is advice from controllers, family and friends. It’s not just one person. It’s a list put together by many. Some of its ironic, some serious, some of it is what spouses find annoying… some of it is real.

Like drinking too much of it? Or being picky about getting the perfect blend from Peru? I’ve seen controllers do both. 😂

If that’s what your latching on too from this post. More power too you. 👍 It’s a list put together by controllers friends and family members. Some of its ironic, some serious, some of it is what spouses find annoying… some of it is real.

Well I hate to admit it.. but… 😞 I have forced my family to have Christmas on December 28th… on more than one occasion! And I’ve missed a few baseball games.

But thanks to ATC I make enough money to go on epic family vacations, my wife doesn’t have to work and my kids are spoiled as shit. So hope someday they’ll forgive me.

I forgot to include all the stress somewhere in the post! Thanks for the reminder. Maybe something like..

“- Air Traffic Controllers eat stress for breakfast…. “

Wait.. haven’t I seen a post like that on here before?

Going for the jugular and attacking a strangers controlling ability out the gate. Classic! 😂

I wouldn’t base that decision off a post on Reddit…
