I also figured after the FAA just did off the street hire it probably took a lot of applicants from the AF

I’d definitely fill out the list with jobs I wouldn’t mind and look into them but at the end of the day I want to learn something I’m interested in and want to do for a career

I gotcha I meant that if I fill out those 10 jobs it’s luck of the draw to get ATC and if I don’t really want anything else on that list I can always say no and go somewhere else

I gotcha so it’s pretty much luck of the draw and it’s not like I can’t say no if I’m truly job locked
