ATC Career Outlook

Stumbled across this today. This is largely in part to an incident during Reagan's presidency. Basically, the majority of the ATC force was fired for striking over wages (after previously agreeing to never strike). The mass rehire following the layoffs made it so that the majority of controllers are in the same age group. This age group is hitting retirement over the next few years. I'd already heard that there would be a large market opening for air traffic controllers soon. It's just nice to hear it come from someone other than the Navy recruiter! Things are looking more promising...
