Episode Synopsis

On this episode, I talk about what it is like to work at an enroute center. I discuss what a normal day is like, what the traffic is like. I talk about what kinds of sectors I worked in my specialty.I describe the different positions there are at a center. What they do and how they are staffed.I talk about breaks. How often you get them and how long they may last. I also talk about some of the things you can do around the center on your breaks.I talk about weather, the impact it can have, and how that impact is different from the impact it has at an airport.From there, I go into what my time was like at ZFW, FT Worth Center. I talk about the impact my trainers had on me; even if I didn't enjoy being a trainee. I spend a little time on how I DID enjoy being a trainer and helping new controllers learn the ropes.That is what led me into offering an online coaching program for academy students. I briefly touch on it today and ask for your input about what you might like to see in that type of program. I want to thank you all for listening and supporting these podcasts.
