A hundred grand? More? About as much as a (US) pharmaceutical dispenser I guess? A third as much as a physician? A fifth as much as an anesthesiologist? Brian Whatcott Altusa OK Hell no, it'd shake you Brian...here's a site for California. http://www.calmis.ca.gov/file/occguide/AIRCONTR.HTM ....and a snippet from that site... WAGES, HOURS, AND FRINGE BENEFITS Entry-level Air Traffic Controllers start at $24,734 per year at the General Schedule-7 (GS-7). Journey-level wages for controllers depend on the size and complexity of the facility where they work. For example, for smaller towns in California like Chico and Modesto, the rate at the journey-level is $33,320, (GS-10); while, at the Sacramento airport, the journey-level pay is $39,406 (GS-11). In busier airports, the pay can go as high as $86,275 (GS-14). Top pay for journey-level Flight Service Station Controllers is $61,401 (GS-12). Many controllers receive additional pay to compensate for higher living costs in expensive areas. This is disgusting, when one thinks of their responsibility...God! I make more than some of these guys and I'm retired military... -- -Gord. (use gordon in email) |
