PubNat 2 POLL...

[LeftyLasVegas]

Awesome poll- makes me feel a bit off to be placed in a low-level facility. Just curious (big suprise, I know)... If I want a bigger responsibility, and higher level tower, how long may I wait? I'd hate to get settled and build a family at my awarded facility when I know I'm moving on to something bigger, eventually. Maybe I should start a different thread?
Here's to another day of waiting...

Probably five or so years? at least back when i was reading every post on this forum every day that seemed to be the consensus

Holy smokes, 16 people going to lvl. 12s. That's impressive.

If you select enroute, you're assured a level 11/12 facility. I suspect most people who answered that are going to a Center.

If you did another poll and asked people who were selescted for a 10-12... 80% would say they were en route.anic:

i didn't realize there was an en-route Las Vegas location, or I would have selected it, also! Darn...

There isn't. Los Angeles Center is the controlling facility for that area.

 

[K-Dog]

There isn't. I believe Las Vegas falls under the LA Center...but for all I know it could be ZOA or ZAB.

No you're right it's LA center. ZLA actually covers a wide area. It even stretches into southwestern Utah and western Arizona. Here are some maps.

You're safe - LAS contains both a tower & a TRACON, which are both considered 'terminal'.

Word from someone I know there is that they are definitely hiring, and definitely need people. I guess Grand Canyon, AZ needed someone more...

 

[LeftyLasVegas]

I'll see what I find out tomorrow...answers, hopefully.

Thanks for all of the helpful info! Still waiting...

[Wyopoke79]

one last bump...

 

[AntoñyMaybeATC]

whos the other level 6er??

 

[kriskthompson]

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but how do you find out the level of a tower? I have Edwin A. Link Air Traffic Control Tower in Johnson City, New York.

 

[MrBucket]

Not a stupid question, just one thats been answered before. No biggie.
