I hope they do find the best and the brightest. The job of an Air Traffic Controller is not an easy job. Although I have a certification for it, I chose a different commercial airline career. I didn’t want to work in New York, Washington or Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Centers or the west coast. Those are very challenging areas. We are in desperate need of more qualified Controllers throughout the US. The skies are heavy these days with traffic.

I hope the previous qualified applicants reapply after being dropped for not meeting their previous “dei” requirements
