Diane/Re: Survived the work day...

[Guest guest]

Hello, - That's interesting that you work at Reagan; my niece

works at the D.C. Center as a air traffic controller. She just

started working there about four months ago; she actually has a

degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle University in

Daytona Beach, FL., but she didn't have enough multi-engine air time

to get a job as a pilot, so she decided to go to the FAA Air Traffic

Controller school in Minnesota. She really loves it! ~~ Diane
