I'm a CFII and have been a pilot for 9 years. I'm currently going through the air traffic control application process and will be submitting my geographical preferences soon (including whether I'd like terminal or en route). This post is ONLY FOR CONTROLLERS who have experience in the real world in an ATC facility. Please don't respond if you've merely been selected or only have an academy date, etc. I'm only interested in people's input with actual experience for this topic.
Here's my question... controllers, do most of you prefer terminal or en route? Is it a wide mix of opinions? What are some of the most important pros and cons of each? I'm leaning toward terminal (MCI, a combined facility) at this point, but I'm having difficulty deciding between that and ZKC. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciate. Again, ONLY FROM actual controllers, please. Thanks!!
