How hard is it to transfer as an Air Traffic Controller after being certified at your first tower?

Im hopefully about to go into training at the Oklahoma City facility and will have to report to Louisiana shortly after. I want to eventually transfer back to NY after I complete my on-the-job training. Is it a difficult thing to do?How hard is it to transfer as an Air Traffic Controller after being certified at your first tower?
Not really. It depends on how hard up for staffing your facility is and how long it takes them to typically train a new person. I mean if it takes years to certifiy and everyone is working OT just to keep the show running and you want a transfer to an overstaffed facility in NY the day after you get your CTO, it won't happen.





Just certify, spend a few months to a year in Louisiana past that then start internally applying for a transfer. Shouldn't be too difficult.





I don't think many places in LA are as in need as facilities in NY, so it should be easy.
