Staff support specialist question

[Railgeek]

just a follow up question on this thread, looking for clarity. If I bid a staff job at another facility, can I then ERR later in the future to be a controller at that same facility?

Yes, you can ERR as an SSP. You might not be ranked as high as anyone else, and they might not release you as the SSP if there isn't anyone else to replace you.

Howdy folks. Longtime listener, first time caller.

Former controller, current support specialist. Lost my medical awhile back and was able to transition to this job at a different facility than the one I controlled at but in the same city. Been fighting to get my medical back and finally got the go ahead. I want to control again though, so how do I go about this?

Do I submit an ERR packet to my current or former facility like NCEPT? And it operates based on projected staffing/OJTI to trainee numbers? Do I have to wait for NCEPT and get last dibs after current controllers? Or am I SOL?

Purple book isn’t clear and asking for guidance from anyone else hasn’t turned up much info. Would appreciate some guidance!

How'd it go
