| Abstract | As a follow-up to the completion of the Concurrent Validation of the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test for Tower Controller Hiring (CoVATCH) project, we investigated the utility and fairness of using AT-SAT scores to place Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) applicants into terminal or en route facilities. Generally speaking, controller pay is higher at en route facilities than at most terminal facilities; placement by option thus affects the terms and conditions of employment and therefore is a selection decision within the scope of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 1978). |
