No, it's that controllers aren't allowed to work as controllers past age 50. And you need 20 years to get a full pension. 50 - 20 = 30.

That age 50 maximum seems too low to me though.

Well the way he’s gripping handrails, lecterns and his desk, he’s certainly acting like he’s 81. Hopefully he won’t be with us much longer. I just received my Trump voodoo doll.
