Age Limit
ATCPRO
"When I mentioned limit I thought on up level . In USA 30 years is limit for first time apply for atc job."
I'm not sure that I've understood what you meant by that?
Eurocontrol maximum is 25years for ABINITIO which is clearly stated.
If you were referring to a conversion ATC's, then it is a different story.
For conversion controllers (being a conversion myself, couple of times by now, on a couple of continents with couple of ANSP's to say the least) different ANSP set different age limit.
Some, they don't have an age limit at all ,but those are normally ANSP providing services at places where you normally don't stay for a lifetime and they have a high percentage of workforce fluctuations.
Elsewhere there is normally an age limit (it might not be published but there is for sure,now I know, it might not sound fair BUT it is justified (difficulties regarding pension funds,salaries,etc).
Again,that might contravene some EC directive against age discrimination, but that is how it is,at least for the time being.
