MARC Air Traffic Control Training Center

I worked with a lot of people at ZMP that went through the MARC program and were direct hires... I also would like a set of those green wands

Marc program was a 4 month Enroute school located at FCM airport and was run by MCTC. The FAA hired directly from the program and students bypassed OKC (myself included) The FAA pulled funding in 2004 and the direct hire agreement was terminated. MCTC continued to operate the school as a cti program for about another 10 years but graduates had to go through the same process as any other cti school. MCTC pulled the cti program and left FCM 5 or 6 years ago.

This was posted exactly 11 days after I retired from ZOB. I went to the MARC program at FCM, and was placed directly in ZOB. OKC was shut down at the time, and not even an option. It was a great program, and did an excellent job at preparing me for my career. During my time, MARC students had a much better success rate than OKC hires did when they eventually re-started.

I work with a lot of marc ass tricks.

MARC was a college degree program. OKC is FAA job training. Explain it to him like that. Even people who went to MARC had to go to OKC.

I was a MARC student and we did not go to OKC.
