redpill me on sky janny>all the liabilities of aviation, 0 the fun>more stressful than being an actual pilot>be sitting at 0 kt GS all day; probably can't even see outside>your job depends on periodic health checks up as stringent as pilots>lengthy training regime>one oopsies and it's overwhat seems to be the appeal?was it the job security? the power trip of ordering planes around
>>2031209not sure it's all of the liabilities, if you have a pilot with a double engine failure i bet the pilot is sweating quite a bit more than the atc
>>2031218which is quite a rare occurrence while literally every atc shift is a monotonous blurand they cant even chill for a minute on shift
>>2031209i wouldn't call it power tripping, command and control jobs are just very satisfying if executed successfullyit's about they joy of watching a huge, vibrant system fall into place and run smoothly by applying small adjustmentsa bit like playing a tycoon game
>>2031209>what seems to be the appeal?Unlike being a pilot, there's essentially zero barrier to entry for ATC. For someone with a high school diploma you're not going to find a job with a better salary and benefits than ATC.
>>2031247don't you have to be under 30 to get in the door?
>>2031250yeah age limit basically just like commercial pilot entryalso the acceptance rate is low and the training is lengthyhttps://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2023/11/faa-looking-at-ways-to-curb-controller-academy-wash-out-rates-00128065https://www.aviationjobsearch.com/career-hub/articles/career-advice/air-traffic-control/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-an-air-traffic-controllerbut instead of flying you stare at a screen all day
>>2031209>redpill me on sky jannyIts a highly important skill that isn't taught in college. So you can have a hs education and a clean piss test and psych and make 100k a year. You can live and work in aviation and afford your own Cessna and get licensed. You make 40k a year more than a pilot at a small regional commuter airline.The story was always you could do it out of HS but I'm not sure since there are so many people coming out of the military.Seems like it would be a good career.
>>2031247>For someone with a high school diploma you're not going to find a job with a better salary and benefits than ATC.I can think of one...nuclear defense industry.Honeywell will pay you 100k to retrofit nuclear weapons missile triggers. They have to be replaced every 20 years. You need a top secret clearance. All the people they hire are either 18 year old hs grads or fresh out of school engineers for the supervisors. They pay you to sit in the office for 6 months doing nothing while you get the TS clearance.
>>2031295At the plant in KC? I live near by and do LE already but it's a fuck
