Title: Looking To Transfer To A New Facility That Needs Staff And Has Active Mentors
Post by: Mark Stapledon Jr. on May 21, 2016, 09:14:38 AM

Hi All,

I am currently with ZLA which I was with for many years until I went inactive quite a few years ago. I am a S3 and looking to transfer to a new facility that needs controllers and has active mentors to get me behind the scope again. I am having a little trouble getting ZLA to give a OTS so I can solo again and weeks have gone by and although I live in San Diego California I am open to moving to a facility that needs some staff and has some good support. I am not unhappy with ZLA, I just know they are very busy and have a lot of controllers to work with. If anyone has any ideas or any Facility Directors / Staff would like to chime in I would appreciate it. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to be back behind the scope as quickly as possible. - Thanks!!

Mark,
There are a few active facilities looking for people. If you want somewhere that needs people and has trainers available looking at ZMP or ZAU is not a bad idea.

I believe ZOB, ZLC and ZDV are short on controllers but that's purely anectodal.

Best of luck!

Come on up to ZSE we have active training staff, and on average are getting about 90+ hours of training done a month.
