Non-ATC Positions for CTI Grads?

SweetJohnnyCage · Posted: 08-07-2012, 02:43 PM

Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is John and I'm from Long Island, NY. I just recently graduated from Vaughn's CTI program, hopeful that there's a panel come October/November. I was wondering whether or not there were any jobs you knew of in the NY area that are geared towards ATC in some sort of way that aren't actually controlling traffic. Are there any sort of tower jobs (secretary, gopher, something) that are available somewhere? Thanks in advance!

Look for RPO jobs, they are great for ppl who want to do ATC

Yea I keep checking Raytheon, but they never have any openings. I heard from my Capstone professor that the sim at the TRACON just downsized like 13 people.

They downsized all over the country so positions are especially scarce...RPO positions are more difficult to nab than ATC it seems since there are fewer positions and all the same applicants that apply with the FAA as well. I RPO at L30 and we had a position open yesterday and it's already filled. You gotta know people.
