Because it's the FFAA. Who knows why they do what they do. Why do they hire a secretary as a stupervisor when 1. she had NEVER checked out in ANY facility. EVER. 2 There were 12 other qualified applicants.[/quote]

One thing I learned a long time ago is it's not what you know but who you know.

I don't understand this although I've read it a few different times from posters. Why would the FAA spend so much time/money training and recruiting new individuals when there is a shortage of controllers just to fire them before their probationary period ends? I assume they want you to succeed and if you do your job then you shouldn't have to worry about anything. I've been in sales jobs and although the failure rate is higher than most other professions, the companies spend a lot of money training you and it's in their best interest to have you succeed. They want you to succeed. Maybe it's my ignorance, but I don't see why the FAA would be any different.

under the IWR its their way of showing you whos boss, fire enought nubees for what ever reason and the rest will be afraid for there jobs and be sheep, you think the FFA cares about waisting money look at all the billions that have been wasted on projects that we never got,can you say ISSS, NEXCOM, STARS, DATALINK,etc,and you think they care about a few million spent on controller training.all they care is about numbers and at the rate the OTSs are applying for the job the have plenty of folks to take the spot of those washed out and fired.

The nail has been hit on the head!

It's all about control of the workplace.
