Older story. Didn't realise that US had college degrees for ATC, and before this FAA pretty much only took them or military. This looks to be bringing it more in line with Europe or Australia (psychometric test at the start, no need to have studied ATC as a degree) So basically the people who wnt to college to study ATC and now find that it doesn't give them an advantage over people who did non-ATC related degrees are the ones sueing. Snowflakes indeed!

Be interesting to know if the "CTI" colleges are supporting the lawsuit - they do say enrollment is dropping.

Of course all systems are different, but this does look a good idea. Why limit your pool of applicants to only those who had done an ATC degree/ military when yiu need to expand hiring? Seems silly to put a two-three year gate at the start.
