Context: I’m a US citizen and our government is going to hire and train the next batch of Air Traffic Controllers. When explaining the process and what the pay would be like etc, the site mentions “Locality Pay.” I have quite literally never heard of the term before, and when I look it up everything just skips straight to “How does it work?” But what is it???

It’s essentially a cost of living increase based on location. It’s more expensive to live and work in LA as opposed to Pittsburgh, so the government gives you extra money to offset the costs and ensure your salary is roughly equal to other ATC after expenses and taxes.
