As someone who would actually want to go to ZNY. What does being optional mean?
Interesting. I imagine to keep the OT pay?They check out people who want out but can’t unless they hardship, and those that want to be there usually wash and are sent (NEST’d) to West Virginia... or jersey.
Currently from the 2020 bid, waiting for clearances. Is there any chance by the time I go to the academy, ZMA will be on the list if I’m selected to the En Route path?Second hand word for next weeks eval placement list is as follows.
ZDC
ZDC
ZOB
ZOB
ZMA
ZMA
ZNY (Requested)
Again, I heard this second hand from two separate sources.
Sure, there is a chance. Honestly, there is no way to predict what will be on the list other than the hard to staff facilities. You will bang your head against a wall trying to narrow down what will come up when it's your turn but you won't know until they give you the list.Currently from the 2020 bid, waiting for clearances.

Yeah I called my rep and she said no. She also sounded like she didn’t even want to talk to me lol. “I was wondering if I could switch to enroute” “No, anything else I can help you with?”Did you ask for a swap when you got a TOL couple people from my bid did that successfully
I heard this from their lead, he stopped by my class one day. Looks like the rumors of ZNY and ZOA not being mandatory anymore might be true.Second hand word for next weeks eval placement list is as follows.

ZNY and ZOA shouldn’t be sent another academy grad until 2023I heard this from their lead, he stopped by my class one day. Looks like the rumors of ZNY and ZOA not being mandatory anymore might be true.
Wait why was it a class of 3 and why does their list have 7 spots3 of 3 passed today.
2-ZNY
1-ZID
2-ZOB
2-ZDC
Alternates are ZOA and ZSU
I could be wrong on the list (feel free to correct me) but I'm 95% sure that's what it was. I do know that 2 of the 3 are choosing ZOA and the 3rd might choose ZSU or ZOB.
It was a class of 3 due to COVID. The other 4 were pulled and quarantined. I believe they actually started Day 1 today.Wait why was it a class of 3 and why does their list have 7 spots
They have to restart from the very beginning?!It was a class of 3 due to COVID. The other 4 were pulled and quarantined. I believe they actually started Day 1 today.
