which is the minimum/maximun age for retirement for FAA atcos? Somebody told me that at 46 you can leave, its true?
Not quite. You were eligible after 20 years and reaching age 50, or after 25 years at any age. Mandatory retirement age was 56. I retired at 55 with 30 years. Most of my crew retired within a year of me for similar reasons.
Many facilities now have similar issues. 6 Day weeks would have been OK when we were young, eager and needed the money. It gets damn old when the alimony/child support is all paid and work starts interfering with your golf game.
