The way that the job offers go, for those of you who are curious (Jenn), after I pass the AT-SAT test the FAA places my name into a "pot." In this pot I am allowed to pick a couple of states and then my name goes into that state's pot. After that I get placed on a list for that particular state and finally interviewed by the facilities within that state that are in need of hiring controllers. So looking at the Boise facility they are currently at 92% staffed with four people who are able to retire at the end of the year. This looks promising because they try to hire controllers from around the area first, plus it takes near two years of on the job training just at the facility before you can really control on your own. So there should be several spots open in Boise by this time next year. Here is a website that you can look up facilities and the staffing at each facility. http://data.gannettnewsservice.com/airtraffic/facreport.php?FACID=BOI
I hope that clears up any questions out there.
