New York Jobs CEO Council’s Post

I read an article today about how the FAA is experiencing a shortage in air traffic controllers and so I looked into what it takes to be an air traffic controller. They have a set "application period" for the year which reminds me of apprenticeship programs. Here is what you need to be eligible: Applicants must: Be a U.S. citizen Be registered for Selective Service, if applicable (Required for males born after 12/31/1959)  Be younger than 31 years old before the closing date of the application period (with limited exceptions) Have either three years of general work experience or four years of education leading to a bachelor’s degree, or a combination of both Speak English clearly enough to be understood over communications equipment Be willing to relocate to an FAA facility based on agency staffing needs Now looking at those qualifications, I have to ask, why there is an age limit. I didn't see anywhere in their program why that particular age was a bona fide qualification that allows them to actively engage in age discrimination. Thoughts? Insider information I'm missing?

Forbes just published an article about associate degrees across the country that students can pursue for high-paying careers, highlighting Parkland College's Institute of Aviation's degree among them! Read the story: https://bit.ly/4ecPe2o Institute of Aviation Director Wendy Evans said Institute graduates have been able to land rewarding careers that live up to the Forbes mention. "With an AS in Aviation from Parkland College as well as having completed their required FAA flight hours minimums (R-ATP of 1250 total flight hours), many of our students' first jobs at a regional commercial carrier can expect to make $95,000 to $110,000 in the first year," Evans said. "On the flip side, we have Institute alumni making upwards of $350,000 in compensation. Longevity and captain rank within a single company can potentially add to these numbers as well."

Story time! Today, I am going to dwell on my past and share a story of rejection which taught me 3 important life lessons. After my 12th, I enrolled into an aviation course to pursue a career as a cabin crew. Little did I know that it would be an array of rejections. For reasons unknown I didn't get through any airline I interviewed for. It hampered my self-confidence and how! Simply because I was judged on the basis of my height, weight and skin texture. I am sure airline crew is responsible for much more than just look pretty. Nevertheless, those rejections taught me 3 things that are etched in my memory. 1. You are not defined by that one moment of rejection. 2. Every 'no' brings you closer to the right 'yes' 3. Focus only on what you can control. What did your rejections teach you?
