I'm interested in Midland. Is it a hole or just a boring place to be?

#1. Pick the facility you want because of the area. If that's Midland, pick it.
#2. Midland is absolutely a facility that you'll be stuck at for at least 5 years. Probably more.
#3. Midland will provide an excellent knowledge base and skillset.
#4. Only pick Midland if you have a reason to. Not based on a whim.

Midland would be a nice place if it weren't in midland

ROA is a pretty cool area. I'm from the AVP area and just so happen to be friends with several controllers at AVP. The pay for the cost of living is really good once you CPC. 4 seasons... they are all living pretty.

Aiming for ROC off that list. Overall the list isn't bad

Used to work with a guy who started at ROA. He didn’t have anything bad to say. City actually has a decent amount to do. The training success rate and NCEPT numbers look pretty good too. If you’re young, single, and don’t mind living a broke college lifestyle (high housing cost) STT might be the easiest facility with the fastest checkout.

AB19 works there, he can give you the low down. In fact, he loved the place so much he bought a house there before he even got there iirc

I'm pretty sure The Eagles wrote a song about it called Hotel Midland. You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave!

You can’t though, check out time is like 2.5 years right lol? One of the last low level up/downs where they drag it out, expect a year or more training for both radar and tower.

I think STT has 1 runway and 2 taxiways. Has anyone ever washed out lol.
