If you’ve ever thought of becoming an air traffic controller, now may be your chance. Beginning next Monday, August 8, through August 15, the FAA will accept applications for entry-level ATC positions.
FAA Opens Controller Hiring Window
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA is accepting applications for entry-level air traffic controller positions from August 8-15, aiming to fill approximately 1,400 roles amid a significant nationwide shortage.
- After previously eliminating it, the FAA has reinstated the hiring preference for Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) graduates and veterans due to recent legislation.
- The new hiring process will create two pools – one for CTI grads/veterans (exempt from a controversial biographical assessment) and another for general applicants – each supplying roughly half of the new hires.
