Plenty of pilots but are there any residing Air Traffic Controllers on here?

[Garp]

Just curious.

I think ZOA NOM(boobster) is in some capacity. But I may be lying.

I am an approach controller in the Vancouver TCU as well as the Unit Procedures Specialist......

Yeah, he is. Oakland I believe.

I watch them land and take off. Every day. Does that count?

My brother applied, waited a few months, took a test about a month ago (more or less), has no idea how well he did. The application process seems really broken to me.

is he an OTS candidate? their hiring process has changed quite a bit in the last year. if he took the at-sat, his score should be online. that should only take a week. tell him to log into ASAP, Click on User Information, Test Information.

When I took mine last year, they never made any mention of the scores being available...I stumbled upon them.

Most times when I ID myself as "experimental" I start getting questions from approach about type, "1918 British SE5a" then when handed off to the tower I usually get a request for a flyby of the tower, and they want a real close one too:

Very cool...I can almost see my old hangar at NAS North Island off in the distance.

hijack for a better view and Porsche content.
As you know flying within a 5 mile radius of NZY is pure postcard.

Thanks for the advice - I'll get him to go check it out. I'm not sure what he applied for... I want to say a traffic controller position that might've been in Oklahoma? He heard that there was a shortage of people in that job so he decided to give it a try. He graduated with a teaching degree in Dec. '07 and hasn't managed to find a job yet. His big mistake IMO was applying only at the better school districts last spring / summer. He thought he'd get picked up quickly but of course that didn't happen and over a year later he's still just subbing at area schools on occasion.
