While everyone's suddenly talking about the fact that the FAA is recruiting high schoolers to work as air traffic controllers, the truth is that the agency's been at it for some time. Just check The YouTube, where this low-budget ad has been knocking around for more than a year.
CNN just caught wind of it and invited Acting FAA Administrator Robert Sturgell to comment:
We're targeting a new generation, and we're trying to connect with them where they are ... 18-year-olds today can go off to war and serve this country, so we will train the folks we hire, and we will make sure they're fully certified.
If these are the best ads the FAA can put together, it's no wonder they have to offer six-figure signing bonuses to recruit youngins.
