I recognized the voice of that guy in the light yellow striped shirt from listening to JFK...
As someone going through the process (PUBNAT7) now I'm hearing all kinds of things about how OTS fail out, CTI is better, or the training sucks, or too many "kids" are failing out. What can I do? Put my head down, work hard, and give it my all. Don't need to talk about my AT-SAT score on forums, or what facility I want to work at, or whatever. While some new hires might be catching some heat from trainers because the FAA has changed their training practices or whatever other undercurrents exist, you have to appreciate the stress and importance of their position as well. Regardless, none of it changes my desire to be a controller.
