Anyone have any insight on CHS? Staffing levels? Good/Bad choice to start for OTS applicants? ANY info you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

i think we are always trying to get people i dont know how many our manager has a bid out for i know she was trying to get whatever she could but i dont know about now, we are starting to get a little fat and training is starting to clog up so we will see im sure there is a bid or 2 out i know we get an OTS in october, he has alreeady stopped by the facility and checked it out, (hangs out, watches operation) if you are in the area and want a tour i can message ya a Phone number and you can call that and come on by, we always welcome tours

Hello,
I'm currently a CTI student and will be graduating in August of 2010. I would love to live and work in the Charleston area. I'm curious if anyone has any updated info on this facility. I will probably fall under the 2011 panels and I know it's far off and will probably change by then but if anyone that works there that might have an idea of future staffing and/or hiring could you please let me know.

Thanks,
Ken

I also live in Charleston. I've been to the facility twice, as a visitor =( , and met nothing but nice guys. The view from the tower, just like any other, is phenomenal the beach is right behind you! Charleston is a "fun" city. Good luck to you in the future.

Is there anybody that controls in Charleston, SC? I live around here and wanted some information on the facility. I've toured there and spent the day shadowing a controller in the TRACON. But, since im still in school I wanted to see if there were any opening as far as internships go.

Thanks,

Matthew Montgomery
