I think that for all the people out there that are looking at being an ATC, or are currently in the process or even for current FAA employees, but are concerned about the pay, etc. I truly feel that by following this link and writing your senators about ur concerns, then maybe you can be more of a help than by going on here and writing your gripes.
I am former military so i receive GI benefits as well as the $20K recruitment bonus which made it somewhat financially viable to take a pay cut and pursue the FAA, however had i not been privy to any of these benefits, there is no way i could stomach this process. I feel for all you out there fresh out of college looking into this career because i know I couldnt do it.
Anyways, here is the link. Maybe if we make enough of a stink, we can further our cause
