OK folks, I'm goingto post it on this forum as well. This does not apply to all of you, just most of you. Do you really want to put your entire career, that you have waited soooooo long for, in the hands of the busiest facilities in the world?
If you do not make it at A80 (ATL included), you WILL be fired. Going to a large TRACON or Tower as your first assignment is career suicide. Plain and simple. As I have said more times than I can count (I can't count very high BTW) go to an ARTCC or a mid-level tower/tracon IE lvl 7-9. Learn HOW to do the job and then bid on the big show(s). We have had a washout/quit rate, I would estimate, in the 75%+ range. Did you all really spend 2-4 years paying your own way through CTI school to washout/fail your first facility? It's a long career and you will ALL have the opportunity to move to where you want to go, eventually. Do not for one second think that your first facility will be your last. Just does not work that way.
