Until the next government shutdown...

Here's an idea: offer to pay for their education and give them a stable career with a comfortable salary, comprehensive benefits package, and room for advancement.
Oh, what's that? You won't, because then billionaires wouldn't be able to treat them like slaves? Well, suck it then. No ATCs for you!

"What's up chat, today we're going to be routing traffic at LAX--whoa, is that Elon's private plane?"
oh man that sounds so fun. Let me sign up to work abusive hours in an understaffed underpaid position that requires a high level of skill and multitasking using outdated technology. Also I'll get to fight bees and bats on the way to my un air conditioned office at the top of a tower because the elevator has been broken since 2007
As a bonus sometimes you get to work a second job because the paycheck stops randomly

I know my hours of playing Tetris got me a job at the store bagging groceries. Employee of the month!

The FAA wants to recruit children as ATC because most people who have been alive for longer have seen how quickly the FAA will fuck them over and try to get them to work for free while striking is illegal. I wouldn't even consider working ATC before like $150k/yr based on all the "work without pay during the shutdown" fuckery I've seen from the FAA during my lifetime
replies:
Bad idea! You know they'll all rage quit.
Do you want ATC to tell planes to do a barrel roll?
the problem is that, its extremely restrictive to get in even to start school, plus you can be over 31, plus other DQs.

"hello passengers, this is you captain..uhhh.... we're going to have to do another circle around Chicago because ...uhhh...our traffic controller rage quit and called us a bunch of f*gs"
They will all have either psychological issues or previous cannabis use. Both are lifetime disqualifying conditions because the laws in force were written in the 1930s.
Fun fact: there've been a bunch of ATC simulator games back in the eighties to mid-nineties, but the most successful ongoing series seems to be ‘Air Traffic Controller’, which is of course Japanese. Aside from Windows, it notably includes versions for PSP, DS, 3DS, and several mobile ports that are probably only released in Japan.
Supposedly the series includes layouts of real airports, mostly Japanese ones.
replies:
Will they really get paid, though?
replies:
From what I know about the FAA they would probably recruit a squirrel if they could get away with it.
That's been the norm for years in au/nz
Strict drug testing as phyc evaluations. You can't even be on antidepressants. Good luck.
Oh dear god, they're going to hire AirForceProud.

Who qualifies as a gamer? Are much money can I expect to start off making with my Dark Souls no hit, no bonfire run on ng+?
replies:
Can't wait for gamergate at gate 9.
Hey this hits two of my things: needing a job and I’m a gamer..
Wasn't that a Robin Williams flick?
Keeping all that planes from colliding, and taking responsibility for all these lives?
They'd have to pay me like $1M in annual salary
