So, I think it looks pretty good, ( I did just skim over it) maybe mention somewhere in there that you are a good people person, and that you like working with kids. DEFINATLY mention your 7 years customer service. Can't really help you out too much, sorry! Hope you get the job!

European ATC license valid in the USA
European ATC license valid in the USA?
I am considering getting my air traffic controler's license in Europe (maybe in Switzerland or Luxembourg), but it is my intention to live and work in the USA. However, I found information that in order to be an ATC in the USA you need to be an American citizen. Would having a license bypass that requirement? It's hard to believe that American ATCs get jobs in Europe and that the other way around isn't possible...

i dont think so. it doesnt seem like it, at least to me.

Having a European license does nothing for you in the US. American ATCs do not get jobs in Europe either.
3 :
No it doesn't because they both fall under different jurisdiction. Although already having a license on another country does help! All you need to do is take some courses or do whatever the FAA requires to transfer the credits from the JAA (I think that's what is called..) But I think you need to be an american resident to become an ATC in the USA. So I would say unless you don't have american citizenship or residency you can't just have your European license and come over and expect them to be transferred that fast. So I would say just get residency in the USA if you don't already? Or why not just be an ATC there in Europe? There are some nice airports there and also high density airports where ATC is in high need like London Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle, Madrid Barajas, Amsterdam Schipoll, Frankfurt, Dublin, Milan Malpensa and more!

The FAA (the agency overseeing aviation and air traffic controllers in the USA) and JAA (Parallel institution in Europe) do allow SOME degree of certificate overlaps, but only for pilots and never at a professional level. This does not apply to Air Traffic Controllers. The job is seen differently in the US as it is in Europe. In the US the vast majority of controllers are government employees and the job is considered essential to national security, therefore there are certain security clearances to pass and citizenship is a requirement. In Europe on the other hand, specifically Germany and several surrounding countries including I believe Switzerland and probably Luxembourg, air traffic control is a service provided by private companies under government contract, Eurocontrol is one company that comes to mind. Typically when you allow a private company to operate a service you allow them to set employment standards. There is no way arround the citizenship requirement unfortunately.

February or March in Europe, is it too cold or like the Northeast US
February or March in Europe, is it too cold or like the Northeast US?
My work schedule will not allow for a more traditional time to visit, like spring or summer. I'd like to fly into Luxembourg and use rail to get around I'm planning to fly into Luxembourg, and use Eurail to get around Central Europe...Brussels, Amsterdam,etc.

It's cold ... for me but i don't know weather in US Northeast in this time
2 :
Norway and Greece are both in Europe. Surely, you don't expect the same temperatures in both of those countries. If you're in Northern Europe, it will be like the Eastern US. If you're close to the Mediterranean, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, it will be milder. And it also depends if you're going to mountains or not. The Pyreness in Spain, the Alps in Italy will still be very cold.
3 :
IT DEPENDS ON WHERE IN EUROPE, IF YOUR IN GERMANY AND THAT AREA YES IT'S LIKE NORTHEASTERN U S A
4 :
It depends what you call cold... February can still be very cold, but usually not colder than -10°C. In March it already starts to heat up till about 10 to 15°C (can't guarantee this, last march it was still snowing).

Why do people actively promote the "Scandinavian socialism" myth
Why do people actively promote the "Scandinavian socialism" myth?
It's blatantly false. Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway are in the top 30 for the most free economies in the world. Here are some examples of the top 30 economically free nations: Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Estonia, The Netherlands, Finland, Japan, Austria, Sweden, Germany, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Norway. These nations, being the most capitalist, and the most prosperous in all of human history, how can anyone claim that socialism works as an economic system?

Your asking if Conservatives understand what socialism is basically. A term they don't know the meaning of.
2 :
Great. Let's follow those models then and have wonderful health care systems and lower poverty rates.
3 :
stupidity
4 :
Small homogeneous nations with no military might to speak of. You cannot isolate their economies without pointing out those similarities as well. Nations like China, Great Britain or the U.S. cannot practice "free economies" like those countries you've listed.
5 :
The Economic Freedom Index measures countries based on many different factors, like trade freedom, labor freedom, property rights, corruption, business freedom, fiscal freedom, government freedom, government spending, monetary freedom, investment freedom, and financial freedom. For example, I can see that Denmark and New Zealand have higher business freedom than the US. Their taxes are probably lower on businesses and they probably have fewer regulations. On government spending, the US is better than New Zealand and Denmark. Essentially, Scandinavian countries are socialist and score very poorly in certain categories, but they do well enough in other areas to pull ahead, like in corruption.

I love heritage.org, but to answer your main question. People leave out that these countries depend on the United States,for military aggression in case of an attack.So they don't have to spend money on a military budget(or not very much money)This is how they can carry more socialistic programs like health care etc.If the US fell tomorrow, they would be in total chaos and unable to support the life they have come to know.
7 :
It is conservatives that refer to socialist Europe - and point to the policies and structures of these nations (eg highly progressive income tax, universal healthcare and education, strong effective welfare safety net) as examples of socialism. If they are not as you now claim socialist and are in fact free and successful then why does the right campaign vociferously against any attempt to emulate that success?

Often, "Socialism" isn't used as a set thing, it is often used more as a comparison, if something is "more socialist" than something else etc. If you compare these countries welfare systems to the, for instance, the US, they are indeed more socialist.
