“The FAA put out a job announcement just last month that attracted 3,000 applicants in 15 days. The overwhelming response for new air traffic controller positions highlights the enthusiasm, passion and determination of our applicants,” said Bobby Sturgell, the FAA’s acting administrator. “They are ready to work and we want to get them processed and in training as soon as possible.”
3,000 New applicants? The FAA sent me the job announcement e-mail for every application I have filled out since 6/07 which is 32. By the time I received the announcement I had passed the ATSAT and been on two referrals. I did "re-apply" but i'm sure Bobby marked me down has a new applicant.
Anything to look good in front of Congress huh Bobby:crazy:!
