100g isnt that much guys. especially for a job like this? lol any high stress job should pay "a lot", and 100g's isn't "a lot". hell after taxes it's more like 50g's, that sucks buddy. sucks big time. if i had all those lives in my hands, i'd want way more. this job is like ... 0 room for mistake.

Me neither. I have mild Attention Deficit Disorder. I would probably have Facebook/MSN running on another monitor.

As an Air Traffic Controller, you can earn between $57,000 and $123,000 per year depending on your position, facility type and location, and your level of experience. You’ll also enjoy comprehensive health coverage and excellent pension benefits.

We also pay for on-the-job training following the initial training program. Your on-the-job training salary is approximately $33,000 per year.


Flight Service Specialists
Flight Service Specialists are professionals providing an important information service to pilots across the country. As a NAV CANADA Flight Service Specialist, you’ll receive a competitive salary with a range that offers room for growth—between $42,000 and $86,000 per year depending on your facility, location and years of experience on the job. You’ll also enjoy comprehensive health coverage and excellent pension benefits.

We also pay for on-the-job training after initial classroom instruction. Your training salary is approximately $30,000 per year.
Initial training lasts 4 tp 14 months (depending on whether you go IFR/VFR or FSS) and you DO NOT get paid during initial training. In fact, you pay for your own tuition. ($1000-$3500cdn)

100k sounds about right for the stress they endure though.
