Been out of ATC a years. Is it too late?
Posted: 01-07-2010, 10:55 AM I've been out of ATC for a few years now but looking to get a job, preferably overseas for a year or two. Willing to go anyway. I'm prior USAF and have held 3 CTO's. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Posted: 01-07-2010, 11:00 AM I worked contract tower for 3.5 years. Towards the end of my time with Midwest I met a pilot that was a Navy controller. He hadn't controlled for over 10 years. Midwest ended up hiring him and he is a controller to this day in Kansas.
I'm sure you got a shot, just get your name out there. I'm also assuming you are looking at contract tower work since you posted this in the Contract Tower Employment thread. |

Posted: 01-07-2010, 03:32 PM I guess I'm not ruling the FAA. I just heard that there was good pay for 1 or 2 year contracts. Didn't know if the fact that I haven't talked to planes in a while would rule me out completely. Guess I'll try the FAA route too.

Posted: 01-08-2010, 04:33 AM There are two primary contractors in Afghanistan, Midwest Aviation and ITT Systems Division. Both companies operate towers, but Midwest also operates several approach controls (Bagram and Kandahar). The minimum contact is one year, you receive up 70% hazard and hardship pay on top of your salary, so earnings potential are $120K and up.
