It is well known in ATC circles that this is the case.
Grossly untrue.
I received no sign up bonus and, with 13 years prior experience, I discovered I am actually on a slightly lower salary than some of my less experienced local counterparts.
I was employed to fill a position that ASA had chronic difficulties filling locally. Both through Ab Initio training, and by experienced controllers from other sectors.
