Grats to those who got lists! Funny enough, I am in the group that does the TERPS for Andrews AFB, but have never been there myself. DC is too scary for me, jajaja.

I... have been told my fingerprints never made it to their offices. Sent it in the beginning of Jan. Great. 3/3 now in bad stuff.

Im sorry man???

It is what it is. I have until April before I’m out of AD. Hopefully I can get it done pretty quickly.

Survey has been submitted. Fingers crossed ??

Did you also have instant regret as soon as you hit submit, cause i think i did. I think it was just nerves. What was your number 1? Mine was PIE than AFW.

Best of luck to you brother! Who knows, we may end up working together some day lol

I wouldn't mind St. Louis TRACON cause the facility is not actually in St. Louis. I like to ride my bike when I am not chilling in front of the PC, so the KATY Trail is a huge bonus. Commuting to work via dedicated bike trail? Hell, yeah!

But I'll accept anything. Will be all 🙁 at a West Coast or East Coast pick, though.

T75 is on a training hold UFN. They just absorbed two airpsaces and currently have 50% trainee to ATC. Additionally they are being upgraded to a 10 as of two weeks ago so chances of getting it on your list even if they re-open the gates is slim to none.

CPS is being upgraded to a 6 though so would be a good facility to slide into until you can ERR to T75. Fast checkout time and has been onlists alot lately.

Ah that’s a bummer. It is what it is though. I only have TRACON experience, no CTO, so CPS wouldn’t be an option anyways, for me at least. Guess we’ll just have to wait out this list and hope for the best. As I’ve said before, I’m pretty flexible.

The email says "Placement Date January 26th." I assume thats the day they decide which facility to send us to? Then how long from then do we actually know?

from everything ive seen, you will find out at the 26th and they will offer you dates to start

Hey thats mine!

 

[rogueatc]

For anybody who has negotiated a start day, how truly flexible are HR/FAA? Curious.

 

[D-Dub]

Hey thats mine!

I was about to say you posted it on here in another thread ?

Why would cps not be an option for you?
