How you move up

• Transfer to a busier facility

  The single biggest pay jump. Facilities are graded by traffic level and pay follows the grade.

• On-the-job training instructor

  Training new controllers adds pay and is the usual step before supervision.

• Front line manager

  Supervising a control room. More money, less time on position.

• Traffic management coordinator

  Managing flow across whole regions rather than individual aircraft.
