yeah it was right around 12:45 et

Wonder if they'll work late tonight due to the shutdown. I'm not holding my breath though. Likely done for the day. The wait continues to late next week! Happy Holidays everyone.

Congrats to all those who got their TOL today! I haven’t received anything... yet. I know I’m pool 1 as a vet but unsure of my band. Wish you could get your band cause at least if I knew I was 1, there’d be hope, vs band 2.

I’m almost curious as to if I was supposed to get a TOL but didn’t receive it cause I didn’t receive any notification for the referral status although my notifications are all turned on?

No you would have gotten the e-mail if you got a TOL today. Check spam I guess, but likely going to be waiting with the rest of us into next week if not later.

Does anyone have an easy way to find the nearest FAA facility, terminal or en route?

Just to be clear, if someone has a CIL from a previous bid then they would not receive another TOL correct?

Quick question, I already live and work in OKC, do you think I can still get the FAA to reimburse my lodging expenses during the academy? 😀

If you live within 50 miles of the academy you will get the food per diem but not the housing per diem.

You’ll get $59/day for per diem. OKC native here. Just be on top of it with them because they “forgot” to put mine in two months in a row while I was there.

Even if we rent instead of having permanent residence? That sucks.

I didn't know that if you rented you weren't considered a permanent resident.

I’ve changed cities enough times by now that I rarely feel like a permanent resident of anywhere

They send out TOLs randomly or by score? I’m veteran but pool 2

Is there a timelimit to accepting your TOL?

Read your TOL. Should be 5 calendar days if I remember correctly.
