If that's you're take, I hope you have a good one too, you seem to need it.
I also hope you learn that in ATC, hiring (and firing) practices can have a long, very long, lasting effect.
Opinions are my own and not necessarily that of the FAA. (I'm an Air Traffic Contoller and I'm required to say something to that effect. I also was not directly affected by that quiz, but the quiz had effects which impacted the NAS (National Airspace System) which indirectly impacts me.)
- skyyler 2y ago>in ATC, hiring (and firing) practices can have a long, very long, lasting effect. Do you think that's unique to ATC?
- RandomBacon 2y agoIt definitely doesn't apply to jobs like McDonald's that can easily adapt its workforce numbers. McDonald's has maybe a 3-5 day training period, ATC has a 3-5 year training period. In other professional jobs, people generally aren't forced out at a certain age, so that's fairly unique to FAA ATC and adds the dynamic that I mentioned in another comment in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43356217 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43356217
- skyyler 2y agoI see. Did you know there are jobs other than McDonald’s and ATC?
- RandomBacon 2y agoI'm sorry, I thought you were being serious before, now it is apparent you are trolling.
- skyyler 2y agoI'm being serious. It seems like you're unable to engage in a meaningful conversation on this. Have a nice weekend.
- RandomBacon 2y ago> I'm being serious. Both a troll and an actually-serious person would say the same thing. > Have a nice weekend. You too. I wish you the best (which means moving past the infantile desire to troll, edit: and calling other people assholes in other comment threads)
