A career with the Federal Aviation Administration or FAA might not be such a bad idea, as there is a severe shortage of Air Traffic Controllers right now. The Federal Aviation Administration predicts this shortage to continue and the GAO is stating it could get very serious. In fact some are blaming the Lexington, KY crash on the fact that there was only one air-traffic controller on duty, when really three were needed.

The Federal Aviation Administration employee admitted to having his backed turned as the jet got onto the wrong runway for take-off, a runway too short for Jets and mostly used for General Aviation only. Of course it is still pilot error, yet this is one of the first real examples of the problem and the Federal Aviation Administration knows that safety is paramount in their line of work.
The Federal Aviation Administration will no doubt be hiring feverously to insure they have staff on hand in all their control centers, towers and other administrative positions and this means due to supply and demand they will have to raise the pay to compete for this labor in the free market. So, you might find yourself in a very good pay scale working for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Working for the Federal Government has its advantages indeed and the benefits can make up for any differences in pay from the private sector, yet in this case you might find high-pay plus benefits as the Federal Aviation Administration deals with their shortages of staff. So, consider this in 2006.
