Do video game players make ideal recruits to be air traffic controllers? The FAA is targeting gamers directly in its new hiring push.
The Federal Aviation Administration is officially recruiting video game players to be part of the next generation of air traffic controllers. Part of that push has been accompanied by a new ad campaign aimed at gamers that uses video game footage and Xbox sound effects to make the pitch that players can earn a six-figure salary by applying their in-game skills to the real world.
the problem is that, its extremely restrictive to get in even to start school, plus you can be over 31, plus other DQs.
I think I read once that there was maybe two schools in the nation that could certify you. Hell it might have been one. So incredibly hard to get into, and producing an incredibly small number of trained individuals.
and then TRUMP made the ones that were being waitlisted, or waiting quit or something. and i heard you dont have a choice after you actually become one, let alone you have to live in ohklahoma for the training. to be fair the salary isnt that high to begin with for such an extensive “education”, better off going to college and getting a degree in something useful or even working retail for a while. assuming thier physically capable maybe the trades for some of them,.
