3rd Quarter 2017

So K90 should drop in theory right?

 

[breakaway2000]

In theory yes

 

[Dontbotherme]

It should go N90, A80, C90, I90, and LAX in the top five, but it won't because the list is utterly useless.

 

[Terry]

Just for fun and for all of us waiting til they update the facility priority list next week... here are the number of controllers each facility can select, updated from April to May.

1. N90 - 155 to 156
2. LAX - 11 to 10
3. ZUA - 6 to 6
4. ZTL - 12 to 15
5. K90 - 11 to 8
6. DEN - 1 to 2
7. MSY - 4 to 4
8. MEM - 1 to 2
9. ZDV - 5 to 5
10. IAH - 0 t0 0
11. SLC - 0 to 1
12. SFO - 0 to 2
13. C90 - 23 to 20
14. BOS - 2 to 3
15. BWI - 0 to 1
16. ATL - 0 to 0
17. DTW - 1 to 2
18. DFW - 1 to 1
19. ZJX - 4 to 4
20. ZOB - 8 to 8
21. MIA - 13 to 7
22. HCF - 13 to 12
23. A80 - 34 to 34
24. JFK - 1 to 0
25. CLT - 0 to 0
26. ORD - 2 to 3
27. I90 - 24 to 28

A rational human being could see which facilities will climb/fall, but I expect the next priority list to have all kinds of irrational moves.

How are you figuring these numbers out?

This could be a game changer for the facilities that are high on the Priority Placement List -Terminal because they might now be credited with a placement list inbound for being on the reserved for academy graduate list for the 6/2 class. A list that was to be populated today, originally missing the PPT cutoff by 48 hours.

Could also be a game changer for AOB for anyone losing people at the end of a pay period... Aka Sunday. Might suck.

good point. The 30 extra placement list inbounds will raise the projected natl avg 87.7 to ~87.9 too.
I thought I read something about a .1% buffer, anyone have any details about that?

The fact that anyone has to ever pay attention to things like this is a great example of how asinine this process is.

Y column

.1% buffer anyone? Am I making that up? Can't remember.

 

[MJ]

.1% buffer anyone? Am I making that up? Can't remember.

it used to be .2%. That and all the rounding and such is supposed to be gone now with the elimination of exempt status.

 

[MDWST07]

Are some of the columns hidden or something? If so how the f do I unhide them. I've got the list of the Natca website but people are quoting info from columns I can't see.

It's answered earlier. Standard Excel stuff. Move the cursor to the top right of the sheet (not the whole page with the X) and put it on the right side of the last letter cell. You'll notice the cursor change shape and allow you to unhide the 20 or so columns. You can just put the cursor there and double click to unhide a cell as opposed to dragging. Double clicking is way easier. Just keep clicking away until you get to AA.

Didn't work when I tried it

 

[breakaway2000]

You can also click on column Z to highlight it, hold shift and click AQ to highlight both columns, right click and click 'unhide'.

 

[Move78]

Google how to unhide a column in excel then

 

[Terry]

So today does the final Priority list come out that will be used for this panel in 2 weeks?

 

[breakaway2000]

Yes, it should.

 

[CaptainObvious]

It wasn't working with the individual unhide option, but breakaways worked.

 

[Move78]

It wasn't working with the individual unhide option, but breakaways worked.

The cursor has to kinda change shape twice. From arrow to a vertical line with 2 little horizontal arrows then a bit further to the right it'll go to 2 vertical lines with 2 little horizontal arrows.

 

[GO]

Yes, it should.

It's out on FAA computer KSN site updated as of today. The new PPT that is not the monthly placement ranking list. Small changes to certain facilities

 

[Move78]

Oh no, new PPT today is a catastrophe. You gotta be fucking kidding me.

 

[Andrew]

Oh no, new PPT today is a catastrophe. You gotta be fucking kidding me.

What happened for your facility? How accurate is the number at the end when you unhide the other columns that says possible losses?
