FAA changed the way it hires controllers about two years ago.
They have recently been hiring more of them off the street, instead of candidates with military or college aviation training.

Yep. The AA hires they have had have been terrible. They are stupid and confused and can’t keep traffic straight or their commands straight. One AA idiot thought as long as he told me about traffic at the airport it was OK to have that traffic headed in my direction head on.
It is worse than that, they purged all the WHITE QUALIFIED AND TRAINED APPLICANTS and are being Sued over it by the applicants.
More of deliberate chaos from the Obama Administration.
It will take years for all of his mischief to come to light.
