[BangBang90]

Man I’m so jealous.

Where can I find how many slots are available for an airport on a list?

One slot for each place unless otherwise stated in the email you get from the ATO.

Your facility preference letter will state if there is more than one position available at a specific facility, otherwise just one.

I'm pretty stoked, the only thing that sucks is the cost of living out there.. I've got a 70 lb dog that needs a backyard lol.

What happened to the 2015 bid?

 

[Super Salt]

What happened to the 2015 bid?

People were declining their initial lists of facilities in hopes they’d receive a different list. Huge gamble.

I originally applied and am being hired on the 2015 bid. Go back a couple pages and I explain it a little deeper. Haha

I hear you but going to a backed up low level up/down, rotting behind slow trainees, finally CPC and then get stuck for years and years in a location away from (insert location or thing) is a gamble in itself and in recent years, I can’t think of a single CTO/approach ticket holder that I know or have even heard of not getting hired.

Yep.. exactly

Stories like yours have made me paranoid when things take a little longer than other people. At first I didn’t want to annoy my reps but I’m not about to be left behind because people aren’t doing their jobs ??‍♂️

From personal experience.. annoy the hell out of em until you get the answer your looking for. I went several months without a reply from them until I finally figured there was an issue with my eval and I was DQ… Had I kept at it, there would have been a better than good chance that I would have eventually gotten someone to answer me and solved the issue a long time ago..

And in my situation, they lost my medical, and my drug test.. So definitely recommend keeping on them.

Does training go down for the holidays? Is it reasonable to request a later start date to begin after the holidays?

If you stay in Nov you might not get any classes and or be able to go to the Sims during the holidays. And usually for my fac if you had no ratings or just CD then you were put on holiday leave. So maybe take change of station leave in conjunction with those holidays.

That’s the plan. They have my drug test and security stuff done but still waiting on medical. Going on 5 weeks now when everyone else I know had theirs done in 3 or less so now I’m harassing them trying to see what’s going on.
