Did you get caught up in not being able to be hired as a controller because of the FAA's new diversity program? Or did you just decide you want to fly instead?
My son was an Air Traffic Management major last year (his freshman year) and switched to Professional Pilot major this year. The diversity thing got him concerned about the advisability of the air traffic control path. But now that he's switched to flying, he's really excited about that and I don't see him going back to air traffic control.
On another note, that football game today sucked! I think we need a new quarterback. And TCU's quarterback played lights out. My son is in the band and was at the game. I haven't talked to him today but I'll bet he's really bummed.
