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

Did you guys want enroute or were you hoping for terminal?
I was fine with either. I think the idea of terminal sounds better, looking at planes and having windows, but the money in enroute is super enticing. Also the fact that they are all near big cities is a plus so I don’t get stuck out in bum fuck nowhere. And I figure since I know that I’d enjoy working in a tower, and not sure if I’ll like center, I’d rather get center and if I end up hating it I can try and switch to terminal a few years down the road
 
All aboard the tier 2 train!

Took the MMPI March 12 and wasn't informed until this morning, after I emailed asking for an update yesterday. Pretty shitty, but at least I'll be able to go in a couple trips I had planned this spring /summer.
 
Anyone know if there were TOLs given around this time last year and cleared for summer-fall academy? Perhaps those later classes are for those that clear Tier 2 and the remaining TOLs waiting for FOLs.
 
Also, none of my references were contacted and as far as I know neither was my current employer. Don’t know if my boss would have told me even if he was but for a fact I know my references were not. FWIW

Your references won't be contacted for awhile probably. We received conditional clearances, not full. They will still be doing the investigation for months to come.

I wish they’d do the same for medical ?

Tier 2 from this bid will, I can almost guarantee, not be attending the academy this year. It's an unfortunate truth about the process.
 
Got my start date earlier today May 10th, Enroute. I've been trying to get ahold of her since she sent the email to me, I responded in like 3 mins lol. I can't start that date due to my wife being gone for military training, I can't really go until July. Any chance that's gonna be cool with the FAA or are they gonna tell me to get fucked? We've both deployed at the same time before so I'd be able to do it just would be nice not to screw over my kids again,

I’m in a similar situation. Got my start date earlier today for May 3rd, Enroute. I replied right away, even called and left a voicemail with no response. I can’t start because my wife is pregnant and due that first week in May. Fingers crossed that we hear something back tomorrow.

Did you email your HR POC or the medical email? Thinking about emailing them next week. Don't expect an FOL yet as I only just completed medical on 4/1 but an update would be nice.
