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

[ClearanceClarence]

Well I got my Security POC on the phone and she confirmed they received my fingerprints as well as my eQip and they “forwarded everything along to HR.” I assume that means I received a conditional clearance? Or at least hoping lol.

The Doc at my medical yesterday said everything looked great, so really just waiting on MMPI results now. Took it 3/26. Hopefully results won’t take too long.

Had a couple of questions, I know the mandatory retirement age is 56, does this age apply to supervisors and managers?

Is the 40% of the income you receive after you retire every year, is it adjusted for inflation?

From the Midwest.
So. Excited.
Thank you everyone for providing such useful information and support for eachother.

AFAIK no it does not.

From the FAQ: Controllers are eligible for cost of living adjustments (increases) after retirement.

Same for me from my security POC. I got the message “You have completed your preliminary security requirement. Your HR POC has been notified. If you want further status of your application you need to contact your HR POC.”

Does that mean I got a conditional clearance? Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance!

 

[Rallan]

Anyone know a ballpark timeframe to move up for each career-level? I'm sure it depends on passing training, certifications etc...

 

[ChaChy47]

Were you offered other dates or just that one?

Just that one I tried to get it pushed to May but she wasn’t having it.

Dang that’s weird, I know people ask for later dates all the time and are given them. Wonder why your POC had a problem with it...

Keep your phone on and wait for the call. Shouldn't take too long now.
*Edit: Unless of course your medical isn't cleared.. but your HR POC would know that

Took my physical 3/5/2019. Got my academy dates 20 days later. (Guessing my clearance was already done since I did my security stuff a week prior to that)

 

[Mongoose]

So, I was hoping for a call today, but I didn't get one. Should I be worried?

Haven’t received my class date per se, but I took my medical on March 1st, MMPI on March 8th. Emailed Medical POC yesterday and got a response within 5 mins, they just cleared my medical yesterday, April 1st. Everything else is clear just waiting for the call/FOL for my class date.
