ATC guys, name your facility

Yup, miss off the VOR 25 and then the ILS to OXR, missed off of that to SQUID for the hold, then back into Burbank for the ILS runway 8.

We try not to land at CMA as you guys have so much more traffic than OXR. If you didn't know, all the Amflight 8000 flights are training flights. So when you see Amflight 8031 pull some bone headed move, it's because the guy that's being trained probably has like 2 hours in the Chieftain at that point.

Of course working Socal approach you probably saw TONS of stupid pilot tricks outta those flight numbers. I know when I was in training I did my fair share of dumb moves. Bad entry's to holds, getting lost, needing delay vectors, etc. etc.

Hey squish, missed you in your other thread, but wanted to add my Welcome, and hope you visit often. We've got a few good ATC guys here, and more are certainly welcome!

Pull up a chair, but first go in the kitchen and grab one of Doug's beers. Grab one for me while you're up. He won't mind <ducking>.

:D

Hey, Tony Williams, I have a couple questions regarding ATC and then SkyWest. I am schedualed to go to OKC in May and report to SBA after training. Also I have a Comm/Multi/Instrument Certs as well, I was hoping to work for an airline after I retire. I had a couple questions for you, if you dont mind. Thanks
 
Currently one of those *#@ pilots, but was a military controller.

Found it was more fun to fly the hold and swear than by sworn at.

Congrats on SBA. I know quite a few of the controllers there, and I'm actually flying my IOE with Skywest out of SBA. It's a beautiful facility in paradise. Unfortunately, the FAA management is completely screwed up, but so goes life.

If you're just getting hired with ATC, you got a LONG way to go to get to retirement. By then, there may not even be pilots !!!!!!

Ok, shoot with the questions,

Tony

Hello everyone. I started my ATC carreer at FAR in 1983. Moved to MLI for six years, then back to MN in 1994 to be closer to family. Here I certified at MIC and STP, and spent 15 months at M98 (Minneapolis TRACON) where I was certified on departure control. I was an OJTI at FAR, MLI and MIC. No enroute experience.

I retired from the FAA 1 June 2007. I was active in NATCA as a facility rep at MLI and MIC, and am a retired member.
 
New to the FAA world. Came all the way from NY to LA.

Previous employment:
NCA (USMC Air Station)
Multiple bases in Iraq
Djibouti Intl. Apt., Africa
EMT Tower
 
Well lets see:
Sheppard AFB, Texas
Kunsan AB, South Korea
RAF Lakenheath, England
Ali AB, Iraq
Joplin RGNL airport, MO

ALL TOWERS
 
Mountain Home AFB, ID MUO

Traffic is moderate at best and airspace is small (who decided to put a restricted area directly off of both runways 10 miles away? seriously WTF) Thinking about going to the pilot side of things when my last 3 years is up
 
I'm an Air Traffic Controller in South Texas. I wont say where but if you know airports in Texas then you could tell from my tower picture.

TB :cool:
 
Again not naming facility but I am developmental at a tower in the Phoenix area. Just got checked out on Flight Data/Clearance Delivery and so far I am really enjoying this career.
