Hey, good news. $8.75 / hour to start !!! There are reasons they are "hurting" for controllers. Get some insight at:
www.natca.org
Probably the single best source for newhire infor is
www.atccti.com
Being a new hire, presumably off the street, no experience, and being sent to SoCal is like going to slaughter, in my opinion. This NEVER happened in the past, and even with experienced controllers, there were still washouts. By the way, I'm a former fully area rated controller at SoCal.
The only thing I can offer about comparing an ATC career with an airline career right now is that both are rocky roads.
