ZNY and N90 are very similar. The need for controllers is definitely felt at many of the higher level facilities.

Yup... Tech Ops is going through similar issues.

We're having a huge problem even filling the vacancies posted on USAJobs. And some of those that we do fill just don't stick around (for various reasons).
