"Chip Jones" wrote in message nk.net... Naw, *you're* getting all of the AFSS guys who have been surplussed. I'm in a Level-12 ARTCC at the top of the ATC food chain. The AFSS guys that have a Center background are almost all to a person, if not actually to a person, enroute training failures. When we used to wash 'em out, they got sent down to AFSS or some small tower/tracon in the minors somewhere. The vast majority of employable AFSS people aren't qualified for ARTCC developmental positions. We don't accept training failure transfers here at the world's busiest ATC facility. So what possessed you to transfer to ZOB?

According to the Administrator's Fact Book, ZOB was numero uno in CYs 1997 through 2003. It's updated quarterly, the latest is November 2004 so it doesn't have data for CY 2004. http://www.atctraining.faa.gov/factbook/

It does indeed have data for CY 2004... Chip, ZT:

The latest official data in your own source plainly states that ZTL handled 1,836,000 aircraft between January and July of 2004. During that same time period, ZOB handled 1,787,000 aircraft. Pretty simple math... Chip, ZTL

Pretty simple math... So the title of "world's busiest ATC facility" goes to the facility that handles the most traffic in the early months of the year? Why is that? I see that ZTL also handled more traffic than ZOB between January and March of 2003, but ZOB handled more during the full calendar year.
