They specifically made sure the numbers for ZJX were raised before the NCEPT panel (they knew the dire need for bodies there) so they could pick up CPCs on that round. I think their numbers were upped by 35ish. So they select 8 people, then tell the other 20+ transfer requests tough luck basically, and fill the rest with academy.
Nothing against AGs, but it doesn’t instill much confidence to the ones not selected on NCEPT, then watching 25 AGs go instead. Even during a “staffing crisis” some people can’t move lol
