there was an enroute class but I'm not aware of a terminal class that was evaluatingWas there a class that finished yesterday 11/18?
We've been saying that for 15 years...4 years at SMO and will prolly get a free ticket anywhere.
Only a matter of time before they have to adjust these new placement rules. Black holes going unfilled and falling into Cat B faster than the academy is forcing people to go there. MAF needs 6 inbounds just to get to the projected national average and these places are only getting 1 or 2 per class. The controllers at the Cat B places are going to be waiting awhile for any help to show up.12/9 Terminal List

I believe that means the people are undecided but have narrowed it down to those facilities.What’s with the slants between facilities? I don’t get it.

What's the problem with MGM?The ones headed to DVT and MGM gonna be having fun lmao.
I’ve just heard they’re a spicy 6. Tough facility, but that is hearsay I guess.What's the problem with MGM?
A 6 that’s supposed to be a 7. Only got downgraded because half the runway was shutdown for a year redoing the cables for the incoming F35s.I’ve just heard they’re a spicy 6. Tough facility, but that is hearsay I guess.
According to the TCIP page on the FAA site AAP.faa.gov, MGM was a 7 but then COVID happened (Which is a bummer), but they are still working on recovering back to a lvl 7 hopefully. Looks like they were in between the breakpoint for a lvl 7 and buffer from 2020 to 2022 and then tanked (Prob due to that construction). They have been trending upward since summer of 2023 and are looking good for maybe 2026/2027 if they can keep the TCI moving upwards.A 6 that’s supposed to be a 7.

I wouldn’t say it’s really hard, especially not compared to DVT. It’s not a cakewalk but not a facility to be scared to go to
Isn’t it nice how the agency froze everything during Covid (even hiring) except the TCI?According to the TCIP page on the FAA site AAP.faa.gov, MGM was a 7 but then COVID happened (Which is a bummer), but they are still working on recovering back to a lvl 7 hopefully.
