    Apparently, stressful is severely underrating the job.

    What do you think?

    It can be, it I think you get a lot of breaks due to the nature of the work. The worst part is you can’t control where they send you initially, so it could be a HCOL area.

    I would assume the worst part is the stress, with the easiest part being relocated.

    quick Google search shows ATCs make well into the 6 figures in most areas, particularly the higher cost of living ones. I'm sure it's more nuanced than that but a 6 figure salary for a single person/no kids should be more than enough to live comfortably on anywhere in the country, unless you're really bad with money lol.

    Apparently the most likely locations were places like Fairbanks, Moses Lake, WA, and Fremont, CA.

    I just figured it’s an easier way into aviation without going into six figure debt for flight school when it’s far from a sure thing I’d even make it through training. Honestly I think airlines are just gonna have to keep relying on the military pipeline. I’m too late for the Navy route anyway.

    It’s the kinda thing you have to be committed to while in college. I think I’m the Navy pilot program actually does require a degree.

    I looked it up and it looks like their pilot program is oriented towards helicopters. That’s cool, but I’m not sure if that’d count towards flight hours for fixed wing aircraft. My dream is to fly a wide body jet.

    To become an officer, one of the prerequisites is having a degree

    Then you still have to go through OCS, and all other military training as usual

    You guys hear about that Dr that came home early from his vacation, and was killed by his two kids?

    Then the kids killed themselves afterward.

    Holy fuck.
