FAA open Controller Jobs to the Public

The job announcements include vacancies for both Terminal and En Route controller positions throughout the nation. The opportunity for the general public to apply for entry-level air traffic controller positions does not come along very often. The job openings to the public support the FAAs controller workforce plan to hire approximately 15,000 controllers over the next decade. The FAA is undertaking an intensive hiring effort to replace the large number of controllers who began their careers in the 1980s and are now eligible to retire. The job openings are being advertised nationwide in newspapers and magazines, on the radio, on the federal governments job announcement website, USA Jobs, and on general job search websites like Monster, CareerBuilder and Yahoo! HotJobs. Any qualified U.S. citizen under the age of 31 can apply for the general public air traffic controller vacancies.
