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, expecting to fill approximately 1,400 roles due to a high demand for new controllers.
- The agency has revised its hiring process, reintroducing a preference for Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) graduates and veterans, a preference that was previously eliminated.
- Two distinct hiring pools will now be used: one for CTI graduates and veterans (who are exempt from the controversial biographical assessment) and another for all other applicants.
- Each pool is expected to supply approximately half of the new hires, and past applicants turned down by the biographical assessment are encouraged to reapply.
