I heard from a somewhat credible source that they are waiving the maximum hiring age for ATC because of the manning situation. Is this true Or is someone handing me a line If it is true, how long does anyone think they are going to extend the waiver I was scheduled to separate the military in 2006, but I had a family to feed, and NOOOOO job offers anywhere. I raised my right hand, and lo and behold, here comes my acceptance letter 2 weeks too late. I separate the Air Force in 2010, I will be 31 1/2....how about that timing

I think you are better off in the Air Force right now. I retired in 2006 and got hired on in 2007 with the FAA. The pay really isn't great and there are alot of people struggling to make ends meet right now. I haven't heard about them waiving the age limit. They are hiring off the streets so I doubt they will waive the age limit, but I could be wrong. Weirder things have happened
