You’re right this isn’t the Military, but just like the Military you signed up knowing that you will meet the needs of the agency, and the willingness to work anywhere.
I didn’t realize FAA hired people who didn’t want to leave their home town, instead of people who can’t stand being outside of their own comfort zone.
Yeah, there’s not a set minimum years at a facility like the military, but there are people who ERR less than 3 years, then those controllers who are very picky where they only put in the Unicorn Facilities that everyone else wants and stuck for 5+ years, OR they again didn’t do their proper research and picked their first facility with a known staffing issue. You all really take the advice from Academy instructors and HR who were either probably never in the FAA or their Controlling career was short lived? That’s your first problem; being gullible as hell. Do your own research when selecting.
