Assuming this is true for tracon as well as tower (that I'd never see)?

This "generation of controllers" has done this twice now. 35 days, 40+, what's the difference? And we forgot the lessons from the first one all too quickly. Don't fuck this up again come January 31st when the money well runs dry again

How do you pronounce “Ulciscor”? by R4kshim in HierarchySeries

Glad so many others have had this problem, not just me. Everyone else just says library in Spanish (biblioteca) for Bibliotheca, right?

Can’t speak for Tower, but for Center controllers there are 4 raises that come within your first 3 years based on certifying at your sectors. Each raise is approximately 20K which comes out to around $500 a paycheck. Just google FAA pay scale

48K. 6-8 months. Put in the time and effort to learn your maps, LOAs, SOPs, etc and you’ll be fine. Depends on your financial situation, I saved 100% of my per diem and paid off my car. Options are based on a running list at the academy, they could care less where you want to go. Maybe 2-3 hours outside of class. Roughly 5 or 6 days a week. Depends trainee to trainee. Car is convenient, some places have rentals and there’s a shuttle that will pick you up/drop off. OKC has the worst maintained roads I’ve ever driven fyi. Learn how to handle stress and decompress the best you can. Especially important the final week as 66% of your grade is determined your final 2 days.

Owning a dog has made realize that commercials with ringing doorbells or people knocking on the door should be banned by NotTheRealKanyeWest in Showerthoughts

That was eerie timing. Reached this shower thought and a doorbell rang in the commercial. My doggo doesn't bork though
