Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-18-ALLSRCE-57792

[GulfBravoPapa]

Referred simply means you passed the ATSA. A large of people if referred will still not receive a TOL. Only those with the best scores. And before anyone asks (again) nobody will tell you your score.

 

[yungsodapapi]

I’m referred! I swore I failed lol TOL please!

 

[Flashy Vectors]

I would bet on January for TOL

 

[CaptCrunch]

Referred here as well. Best of luck to everyone.

 

[Olympus]

Also referred. At the very least it's a bit of a confidence booster in case I don't get a TOL and have to try again next year.

 

[Roo617]

Referred now, what’s up with Pool 2?

 

[kshaky]

So does referred mean we passed the ATSA?

 

[randoturbo33]

So does referred mean we passed the ATSA?

Yes. But being Referred does NOT necessarily mean you will get a TOL. Being Referred just means you scored above a 69.99%, but when it comes time to send out TOLs, they'll start with the people with the highest scores. And no, there's no way to know what score you actually got.

 

[Sir_Unable]

Referred now, what’s up with Pool 2?

Pool 1 is military and CTI, Pool 2 is OTS.

 

[TushingPin]

Pool 1 is military and CTI, Pool 2 is OTS.

If that doesn't make sense. Experience or no experience.

 

[ATCHopeful]

Referred for me.

This obviously means nothing. But it's better than the alternative for now.

 

[JohnnyBravo]

Referred pool 2 as well

Now we wait

 

[yungsodapapi]

Okay new game, did anyone fail?

 

[BillyBob]

Referred as well... and now for the big question...

 

[ATCHopeful]

Okay new game, did anyone fail?

lol it feels like a 100% referral rate but:
1) People who post online about this are likely already a small % of the hiring pool
2) People who failed likely won't be posting about it even if they previously posted about this bid

 

[jlopez13]

Referred, pool 1. Lets hope for some TOLs.

 

[ATCHopeful]

OK I hate to be that guy, but any guesses when TOLs come out? Last year it was late Dec. IIRC, so that could happen again. Of course, it could also not be until like Feb.

 

[OKbusyB]

It took around two months from the first Referred status until TOLs last year. I’d expect to wait around that time again.

My timeline was:
ATSA: 9/27
Referred: 10/27
TOL: 12/27

 

[jballen004 Tubadude2]

Referred as well! Will we receive an email even if we do NOT get a TOL?

 

[ATCHopeful]

It took around two months from the first Referred status until TOLs last year. I’d expect to wait around that time again.

My timeline was:
ATSA: 9/27
Referred: 10/27
TOL: 12/27

Thanks. I thought referrals were in Dec as well last year, not Oct. So yeah, definitely not until at least late Jan if not Feb.
