Another clear example of the FAA's inability to plan for the long-term.

What's silly about this whole thing is the FAA had full knowledge that controllers were gonna start retiring (1981 + 25) and should've started preparing much sooner.

Ineptitude caused this problem.

Bad for them to not hire. Good for those of us who want to get in it now. It's like it guarantees a job for us somewhere.

Really they ran out of VRA and CTI's. When did that happen? I know of 4 people at my facility that applied VRA and it took them 6 months to get back to them. By that time, they already got picked up for a contract tower or DoD jobs. Mabe for the experienced controllers should have a quicker hiring proses.
