Not if they are trying to leave the facility before him

Someone posted it in this thread last night. Same list.
It absolutely is bogus, because of how some facilities have a ton of backlog and some don’t because of this arbitrary-ness. It isn’t consistent at all.
Seeing as how this effectively ruins the “based on numbers and nothing more” concept of the NCEPT by adding some arbitrary nonsense (which we were supposed to get rid of), they should publish what each facility’s maximum allowed number of trainees is, so that people may bid accordingly.
I didn’t bid this panel, but when I do again, I’m going to be livid if I know a facility can pick up 14, I find out I get ranked 7, so i drop other ERRs because I want to go to that facility, and then the NCEPT only authorizes a pick up of 6 for arbitrary reasons. Now I don’t get to go anywhere, because I withdrew ERRs from other facilities that could have been my second or third choice, and someone else could take the possibly single release at my facility.

The NCEPT FAQ on KSN specifically says this is false. Managers can’t say they don’t want specific people, and the NCEPT board will oblige this request. They rank based on their opinion, and NCEPT staffs based on this ranking. Supposedly they can cut off for “too much training backlog,” as we now see this panel, but they can’t refuse specific people.
don't see it anywhere

Can someone please link the KSN site? I’ve never heard of it.

It got removed.
I don't see any link to click on. Just that it's posted and that's it?
You're completely incorrect. Many controllers will never get a light at the end of the tunnel

Fair enough, I just included ASE because other people were talking about it please. Another thread. But for N90, ZOA, and SUX (among others), my statement remains correct.
What you all don't know, and I just found out from a former FacRep...
If a facility can pick up 5, but only selects 3... The other 2 will most likely be hardships. These are done at the same time but not told to anyone. Our former FacRep was tired of doing all the work to pick up one or two to get none, but get two hardships on the backside. So it's all done at the same time.
