EDWARD S. SMITH, Circuit Judge.
In this consolidated appeal from the Merit Systems Protection Board (board) petitioners, air traffic controllers each with civilian/military experience in their jobs exceeding 25 years, request reversal of board decisions sustaining, in each case, denial by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) of each of their requests for an immediate retirement annuity. We first address and reject OPM’s contention that this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, and then reverse the board’s decisions for the reason stated below.
