The way I read the
NATCA PDF: for Round 2, facilities are eligible to gain if they have less than 30% trainees and they are below the national AOB average (currently 81%). Such facilities are filled until their
projected reaches the national average (curently 91.0%). As
Super Salt says, both those averages will change on the final PPT run.
For Round 1 they'll be doing some fancy algorithmic Decision Lens mumbo-jumbo to rank the gaining facilities that's different from how they've done it in the past. For Round 2 it'll be simpler, they just start at the facility with lowest projected and work up from the bottom.
I don't have any special knowledge, this is just my interpretation of the NATCA document.
Yeah the wording is, as always, nonsensical and confusing. The actual quote:
...note that the document has a strikethrough on the final "s"! Because simply removing it would be too much work. Oy vey.
I interpret that to mean: 1) current AOB is below 85% and 2) projected AOB is below national projected AOB average. But I can definitely see how you're interpreting it to mean: 1) current AOB is below 85% and 2) projected AOB is below 85%. Standard agency/union clusterfuck. Wait and see, I guess.
