For those of you in the application process, and especially those who have not made up their mind:
Will the outcome of the presidential election affect your decision to pursue this career?
I might get some heat about this... i.e. "why would you let something so insignificant affect something so important to you" ... or "if you're that unsure about ATC, then why bother." However I do believe this is a valid question.
Potential outcomes:
1) McCain (or McSame?): perhaps another 4 years of IWR and a disgruntled workforce. Possible contracting of ATC services.
2) Obama: return to the green book or something similar, good times for the next 4 years (albeit, slightly higher taxes likely)
3) Other: Congress passes a contract in the next 4 months and you'll get to assess your decision based on some new agreement.
