So, everyone wants to circumvent the bureaucratical process of being an ATC applicant.....Here's how you can start;
Basically call the tower manager if your terminal of your first and second GEO preferences. It could be more complicated depending on your Geo preferences. I am a terminal only guy. So, if your Enroute it could be a different story b/c they just finished their panels. If you are both Terminal and Enroute options. Start with your Tower managers FIRST. Then Enroute Facilities.
Truth is you don't have to know any one or have a "contact" or any other horse#### like that. All you need is a little persistence and tact. Start calling the managers in your top geo Preferences and you WILL probably find the info your looking for.
I am not saying everyone will have 100% success. I am sure some people won't get what they're looking for. But I think for the most part it will work...It did for me.
Good luck everyone.
