right.. are you planning on a air traffic career?
💯 beautifully explained
Great Interview...Very informative
Wow! Awesome interview! I’m applying for the non experienced air traffic control in June 2022. Thank you for this interview I learned a lot and it really gave me a push bc I was worried that there isn’t many females but I’ve been doing my research and I think I’ve found that women are definitely getting more into the field. Just praying that all goes well! Wish me luck! I’m wondering if you get out into a facility or maybe you get an option for a few cities you might be interested in? I’d love to follow her on social media if she has any! Again thank you! 🥰

Me too! I hope we both get in…I was worried doing research as well because black women make up the least amount of air traffic controller’s…I’d love to connect and follow your journey…maybe bounce off one another!

Could you tell me if this is true or not? Someone stated on another video that there are age limits to get into air traffic control careers.

I believe there are but I do not know the specific ages. The best person to answer that though would be Ashley herself. If you are open to emailing her, I know she would get back to you or point you in the direction of where you can find the information. Just let us know!

You have to be hired by the FAA by age 31 as there is mandatory retirement for controllers at age 56.
