Orlando Tower - MCO
Posted: 11-25-2008, 04:32 PM Does anyone know someone at MCO that I can contact about taking a tour of the place, etc. Or do you know how I can obtain this info? I am hoping to go there if selected. Thanks!

As far as the tour goes, they prefer you have contact with somebody at Embry- Riddle and you must know the guy personally. At least that is what it is for Riddle people. IDK about non Riddle. You can try this number 407-825-2001 (GREATER ORLANDO AVIATION AUTHORITY) and ask for Steve Gardner, who is the airport manager. |

A word of advice: Be VERY VERY mindful of how you act when you go there. Be quiet, polite, and don't offer any information. Answer the questions that are asked to you and only those. If you get to meet the chief or Ops manager, be extremely respectful (yes sir/yes ma'am). DO NOT, under any circumstances, act cocky or pretend like you know anything. GOOD LUCK! |

Posted: 11-28-2008, 08:51 AM Thanks for the contact info and the advice! How much does being a military veteran matter in the selection process besides the extra 5 points?

Posted: 11-28-2008, 09:12 AM If you are a military veteran with ATC experience and you applied under the PUBNAT it should help out a lot. If you are a military veteran without ATC but you still have 5 points preference, it should still help out considerably. Good Luck!

Re: Orlando (MCO) contact?
Posted: 12-11-2008, 01:10 PM When I call for the center what exactly am I asking for? Just simply state who I am and that I would like a tour? And also, if that is granted, what is the proper attire? Polo and khakis ok?
