Anyone know why an academy grad is being offered APA? It's a load of shit

Because that is what the FAA wants to do

Spouse

I'm going to guess that person has a spouse that's a controller in the Denver area. APA is projected 96.9%, BJC is projected 107.5%, DEN is projected 105.9%.
Also a reserved spot in that class for MYF.
But they still have to pass Basics and Tower to get there.

They'll give priority consideration for placement to a spouse if they're a new hire or training failure but not for a CPC.

Those MWH mandatories make them Pass over due to facility backlog. Anyone have a good idea of how long those backlogs last?

They run for 3 months at a time and can be extended for an additional 3 months each time. It wouldn't surprise me at all if MWH is on the Passover list for 6-9 months.

I made it, top of my class. Going to OKC. And two people failed the test, another resigned.

Awesome! Congrats, such a huge turn of events with the list getting switched up. OKC is a great place to start. For those waiting on class dates, I know each class will be different but for a ballpark, what overall grade did it take for you to be #1?

Awesome, we finish 11/1 and everyone was concerned they might end up at MWH or JAN

You'll be in the clear there. I'll post the dates for all the Passover facilities tomorrow.

Any idea what the facilities list looks like for the class that started PA's yesterday?

I'd pick either ICT or LNK.
ICT if I felt like I wanted to spend some time there.
LNK if I wanted to certify real quick and get out for maybe something closer to where I wanted.

And it's Lincoln. Go Big Red!

Sorry if this is a novice or frowned upon question, but I am new to this. Curious, what are the odds to get into a facility into the Denver area? I'm reading forums but I am having a hard time picking up on all the acronyms. Thank you for any help!

That's what the site is for.

Except for pueblo, none.

 

[Rebecca Miller]

I understand each facility gives a certain amount of travel days to get there from the academy, but what about housing? Are you expected to find a place right when you get there? Imagine in some locations that might be a little difficult..

 

[Mike Kilo]

You are on your own for housing, except for Grand Canyon maybe lol. That is one downside to this new process of choosing your facility the last couple days. As soon as you know where you're going I recommend reaching out to the facrep asap and asking their opinion on where to live etc. You might end up in a hotel for a week or two while hunting.

Edit: Also if you aren't carting in a large family you might find a controller there willing to rent you a room while you get settled and learn the area. A few people at my facility have done this for coworkers.

Is it typical that the list is mid/lower level facilities for grads? Or do they sometimes throw in higher level facilities? I know I am thinking way ahead, but more information to plan in the case I get through the whole process. My ideal location would be closer to DC if possible, although I know you're stuck with what they have on the list for your class.

New hires go to 7 and below, with occasional very poorly staffed 8s. Unless you’re married to a controller, then all rules go out the window.
