If you make 160k+/yr as a controller today, in general you have 15+ years, work at a high-density facility and get your ass kicked everyday, live in a big city with a 45 minute to 1 hour drive TO and FROM work every day, get a lot of 2 hour holdover shifts making your 8 hour shift closer to 10 and your 10 hour shifts closer to 12 and your probably working mandatory 6 day workweeks including nights and quick turn-arounds to midnight shifts. 6 day workweeks gives you 4 days off every month. 4 non-consecutive days off every month. Show me 1 pilot who does that for 160k/yr.
