This study was conducted to assess an Federal Aviation Administration program to hire former military air traffic control specialists to enter AIr Traffic Control field training directly without first attending the Academy screening program. Selection of military controllers was based on meeting pregire qualifications, subject matter expert ratings of ATC training and experience, supervisor recommendations, and final decisions of selecting officials. Selection of the comparison group of Academy graduates was based upon selection test scores, age, work experience, and medical and security qualifications. Facility assignments for the military controllers were partly based on prior experience. Academy graduates' facilty assignments were partly based on Academy performance. Training records were obtained for 538 military controllers who entered field training as part os the special hiring program conducted in 1988. Thier training status and other performance measures were compared with those for 1605 candidates who entered the Academy between January and December 1988. Academy entrants had a 36% loss rate, which was typical for this second-stage selection procedure. Facility assignments differed for the two groups; 89% of military hires were assigned to terminal facilities while only 31% of Academy graduates received terminal assignments. The 1024 Academy graduates adn the GS-9 military hires had statistically equivalent failure rates from field training at their first facility (13% loss for Academy graduates as compared with 20% for GS-9 military hires in the terminal option; both groups had about 21% loss rate in the en-route option.) However, a substantial percentage of both groups have not yet completed their training; thus, increases in loss rates may
