Here's the B pay scale:
Then, if you check out in a few years, you'll get the following plus whatever locality applies.
ATC Level
Minimum
4- $37,200
5- $37,200
6- $44,750
7- $45,300
8- $52,850
9- $55,200
10-$62,750
11-$67,400
12-$74,950
Maximum (after a boat load of years)
4- $50,050
5- $50,050
6- $57,600
7- $62,650
8- $70,200
9--$78,050
10-$85,600
11-$96,950
12-$104,500
My pay when I retired was above $160K/yr (No overtime at all). We had some controllers that made over $200K/yr with a lot of overtime. You may think that for that much money you could be happy with anything but trust me, that's not the case. The treatment gets old and money doesn't make up for it. Take it from someone that has lived it!!!!!
