And yet you can be president at 70 or 80

These age limit things suck. Some of us are just figuring out what we want to do in life at 30. I remember a classmate who was 29 and wanted to be a fire fighter. They told him he was about a year too old to join. It sucked

I just got accepted to take my air traffic skills assessment test. I’m 27 years old so hopefully I have a long career in ATC 👍🏻

Yet someone who doesn’t remember the name of his own wife can become president

🤔🤔 umm this is absolutely not the reason why the FAA doesn’t hire older than 30. I’m sure the FAA would be glad to train 32 or 33yr olds however, since controllers are forced to retire at age 56 and something about being a federal employee requiring you to have 25yrs of service is why they can’t hire ppl age 31 and older. 31+25=56

In Canada you can get hired at 40 as long as you pass the medical and training process

[autumnyoung]

False - I’m 34 and training in the US. It just depends on you.

[liveandletflyatc]

Depends on the country. Many countries don't have the 30 max limit.

This is why i feel my life will end by the moment i turn 30

We know someone who works this. He said they're often understaffed and overworked. There were days were he was alone in the tower and had to take care of everything and that's something that happens wll around the world. It's just a matter of time until something bad happens 😢 also considering that a lot of pilot are also overworked

My friend got this in the bag fr lez go!!!🔥🔥🔥

[LT_Tommy]

My brother is 27 and he’s an full time air traffic controller in la international

[bluesideup]

You can work for contract towers. Check out training options.

[Mimimo]

Not everywhere, in Germany you need to be 24 or younger to start training

[Grey-Boy]

My brother in the military is an air Traffic controller he is 23.

[VictoriaStobbie]

Just turned 30 and was looking at getting into this role for the Airforce 😅 I guess not.

[CapturingCornwall]

no wonder there's a high demand for atc.... FAA are shooting themselves with a ridiculous age limit. FAA might want to rethink their out of date policies.

[kflats]

you can be president at 81 but not atc at 31? makes sense

[joeschmo]

I’m about to turn 30 and now I feel old.

Remember everyone, only the governments is allowed to discriminate.
