Regardless of your age, chances are you know at least one person in your life who loves video games, and a recent campaign by the U.S. Department of Transportation shows that those skills might be useful at your nearest airport.
不管你多大年纪,你身边多半至少有个爱打电子游戏的人。美国交通部最近的招聘宣传显示,那些技能也许有用
In April 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a new campaign aimed at hiring the “next generation of air traffic controllers,” citing an increased focus on skills often synonymous with frequent gaming, such as increased problem-solving skills and multitasking abilities.
2026年4月,联邦航空管理局(FAA)宣布了一项旨在招募「下一代空中交通管制员」的新宣传,重点瞄准通常与
That strategy appears to have paid off.
这招 apparently 见效了。
In a social media post made Sunday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the campaign has broken multiple hiring records for the FAA, including most candidates hired in a single year, with more than 2,000.
交通部长肖恩·达菲周日在社交媒体宣布,此次招聘打破了FAA多项纪录,包括单年录用人数最多
“In April, we launched a NEW CAMPAIGN to recruit video gamers as air traffic controllers — and supercharged the entire hiring process to get the BEST & BRIGHTEST in faster. The results are HISTORIC,” Duffy said.
「四月我们发起了招募玩家当空管的新宣传,并把整个招聘流程提速,更快拿到最优秀最聪明的人。成果是历史性的。」
The secretary also highlighted that this campaign featured “the most streamlined hiring process,” adding that more than 2,000 “best & brightest” candidates are in the hiring pipeline.
部长还强调这次宣传采用了「最精简的招聘流程」,已有超过2000名「最优秀最聪明」的候选人进入录用管线。
While it might seem outlandish to some to compare video games with a very important (and often very stressful) job, this idea didn’t just come to the FAA on a whim, but rather from its own employees.
把电子游戏和一份重要(且往往压力巨大)的工作相提并论,在有些人看来很离谱,但这主意不是FAA拍脑袋想的,而是来自自家员工。
