If the classes are really that small they’d need a 1/3 of the amount of row instructors for the labs.Talked to an instructor today and he mentioned that some of the instructors/contractors are getting layed off soon as well.. guess the combination of low class numbers and the end of the 5year contract is what may be affecting it
Also they remodeling the basement radar rooms I guess updating screens and such so it will be shut down for a bitIf the classes are really that small they’d need a 1/3 of the amount of row instructors for the labs.

It would be cool if they could make it an option for prior experience to go to the academy for en-route. I wonder why it isn’t, then they could use it to help fill classes.They don't have the people to fill classes, so are canceling classes and reducing class sizes.
Lol that’s crazy. I’m waiting for a spot and still haven’t received anything. Wonder if there are more people with my current situation. I think there’s about 3-4 of us that are cleared and just waiting for a class.View attachment 2880 Saw this on FB.
Same here. I called a few weeks ago (after months of silence) and i was cleared just waiting for a class date after oct. 1st i was told, specifically for N90 though. idk if the whole getting enough qualified candidates is an even bigger issue for n90 since clearances take forever in the nyc area. anyone else for n90? i keep hearing horror stories but the alternatives in the job market are a lot worse if you ask me...Lol that’s crazy.

Agree. Especially since some of these "direct hires" are so terrible and its clearly impossible they've ever controlled live ATC before. Huge burden on the facilities to get these people who cant give a simple clearance.
When are you gonna have another BBQ that causes so many bangs it cripples the NAS?They’re easier to train than enroute oceanic sector transfers.
That ought to help us get spot leave. FAA at its finest, cant make this shit up.The schedule we were shown for classes on 9/8 shows 126 students total for enroute over fiscals quarters 1 and 2.....full speed ahead predicted for FYQ3.....many of us instructors were told...."see ya in June, enjoy your time-off"
