Interesting. Maybe I'll apply when I get laid off in a few months


there was an article in the newspaper about it so i figured what the hell. i think it is only open for one week and it closes tomorrow. also think you have to be under 31, though maybe there are ways around that. i'm sure moma knows.

moma, how soon do you think i'd be able to get back in the area? that'd be my only hang up. just got done with 3 years of a long distance relationship and i'm not not too anxious to restart it. seems like a hell of a career though. i'll shoot you my resume when i get home. thanks.


I think training at OKC is about 6 months but I'm not entirely sure. Also I'm not sure what staffing is like at Philly TRACON.

What's the salary like?


You start pretty low but you get locality pay depending on cost of living where you work. By the time you retire you'll be making over 100k. Closer to 120k to over 150k right now. Their union is incredibly strong.


How low is low? 40k? 50k? 12/HR?

28k while in the academy. 38k + locality after you finish the academy. Steps and pay grades each year.

Flies seem worse than usual down here this year. They're driving my dog nuts every time we go for a walk.

I was wondering how you fit three watermelons into one drink.

I accidentally sprayed him with the hose when I was trying to get sand off myself earlier. That counts, right?!
