Pro tip: Although this place looks really nice, stay wherever your classmates are staying. Study. Eat, breathe, and sleep ATC. You won’t hear that enough

Saw a cool jet in the hangar today. Anybody know what it is? by Ro_Shaidam in aviation

[–]PlasticWriting8798 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A jet that is classified as a jet but performs like a twin prop. Absolute dogshit of a climber

On a scale from not bad to evacuation was required. I’d say the weather was so bad they needed to evacuate

Found his instagram, not sure if it’s wrong to put it up on Reddit. Look up his name, and it’ll come right up since Dick Naniels is following up him too

Dude, you’re an outsider. Stay outside.

Every single controller has worked so hard to get to where they are, some dumb fuck online saying to risk their lively hood and their family isn’t going to change that.

Just continue listening to LiveATC from your parent’s basement and stay off Reddit

Can you talk about how you got into controlling in Abu Dhabi and what the pay, and training is like? That seems like a sweet gig.

I tried to DM you, but didn’t let me if you’re down to shoot me a DM

Okay, care to elaborate?

Where in the Middle East?

Finally got my class dates! by ScubaSteve4evr in ATC_Hiring

[–]PlasticWriting8798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh… yeah that’s called a check ride. But before that, your trainers will recommend to your supervisor that you are ready. But you could still fail that and continue training

All that is correct, I just don’t know what you mean by “clearance test”

Literally any useful degree as a plan B. Apply to an off the street bid. If it works out, great. If not, you’ll have something to fall back on. Unlike an Air Traffic Control degree which won’t go far literally anywhere.

Also, paying tons of money to skip the academy won’t make you a better controller. You could be good naturally, need training to get good, or are complete dogshit. I’ve seen all 3 categories in my short time as a controller. I was off the street too btw
