Title: Looking for a job!!
Post by: Mario Loubier on November 15, 2016, 04:41:31 PM
Hello there,

I've just passed my first exam and it is the time to join a Facility and I just don't know which one will suit my needs.

The most important thing is "where am I the most needed"?

Then, here are the criterias I am looking for this job :
- Salary (= Friendship)
- Summer holidays (= Fun)
- Work timetable (= Learning new stuff)

As a matter of fact, I am a french Canadian native who is doing not so bad with his english but is needing pratice. I am also a real pilot who wants to learn some particular flying rules in the US compared to the ones in Canada; mostly talking about VFR rules.

Considering my francophone origins, anything available in Lousiana? :)

Cya!

Hey Mario, welcome to VATUSA.
Everything here is organized by ARTCC. There are 21 ARTCCs in the US and 1 Control Facility.
(https://www.metabunk.org/data/MetaMirrorCache/33e1503f809b730d752c5911b0e10a4e.gif)
As you can see, most of Louisiana is covered by the Houston ARTCC (http://www.zhuartcc.org/). I suggest you start your looking there if you're aiming for controlling in Louisiana.
Best of luck!

You need to update that graphic.. ZJX hasn't been shaped like that in over a decade, ZHN hasn't existed in about as long when the FAA figured it'd save money to merge it with HNL to form HCF. ;)

Thinking about it, I pretend some Facilities are more actives than other ones (ex.: Boston, New York).

I am ready to begin my training and I am looking for a Facility where I will have all the support I need in the next weeks/months; any candidate?

Thanks.

The best facility for you is the one where you think you will have the greatest success. All 22 are great choices. I would start by contacting the ATM of a facility if you have any questions.

As long as you have the drive and are willing to put in the time and effort into training, then you will do fine.

Haha, nor are a handful of places.

I've just chosen Boston ARTCC, because I used The Force and this is what I saw. :)

A little bit disappointed.

I received my connexion infos and I haven't been able to connect.

No response to my emails from the fellows from Boston.

If you didn't receive a reply from the folks at Boston, did you contact your Air Traffic Director, Mani Manigault, VATUSA9, for assistance?  Please email forward me (vatusa1@vatusa.net?Subject=Boston not responding) the emails you sent the folks at Boston and I'll make sure they respond.
