Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-19-ALLSRCE-61676

Fair warning to anyone that hasn't done their doctor's appointment yet. When it gets to the point where they do the EKG and the nurse goes "Well, we'll see if we can get a signal first before shaving your chest" just tell them to shave it. You do not want to pull those stickers off and then just end up having to get the razor anyway.
Or you can trim it before hand and they shouldn't have to shave it. My nurse didn't have any issues getting a signal and it didn't hurt removing the stickers.

Just rip them right off, no hesitation. Funny story about my EKG that seriously almost gave me a heart attack. The nursing assistant put all the nodes on and ran the EKG and asked me if I've ever had an abnormal one, I said no. She showed the results to the Dr in the other room with me just lying there waiting. She came back and checked the nodes, she mistakenly put the left nodes on the right arm and leg and vice versa.

Man, I was worried when the doc put them on (hairy all over!). They all came off a lot easier than I expected (there was no hair pulled out)!

Nope. I sent her an email on 12/17 just confirming that I had finished everything, with a timeline of when I completed each step, and to let me know if there are any issues. Otherwise, I haven't gotten anything but she's very possibly out of the office for the holidays.
Nice, my timeline is very similar to yours, MMPI on 12/13 (which was the last thing for me). Hopefully we both hear something as soon as possible.

Hoping for an FOL before 1/17/19, so I can withdraw from the classes I plan on taking next semester (prereqs for a masters program in case the FAA stuff didn't work out).
 
To anybody else that completed CSR's and are waiting on Flight Surgeon approval, I just got notified that I was approved. The whole process took a little under 3 weeks. I hope it goes as fast for you all that are waiting!
 
What's a CSR? And congrats! How did you get notified you got approved?
Current Status Report. Thanks! So I had to call my medical POC this morning because we were having some issues with my AME, and while talking with her she was like "Oh yea! Flight Surgeon has made a determination, give me a minute and I'll let you know exactly what he said."

Lucky you. My medical POC doesn't have a direct line. Only an e-mail.
 
Anyone have issues with the phone number given for the drug test? The one they gave me is a disconnected line. Emailed my rep already. Just curious.
 
Got in touch with CS. She said that she's expecting to send further emails for CIL in January since the specialist can only see a certain number of applicants per month. Appointments are probable in the month of February.

Side note: I didn't advance in the Southwest Destination 225 program.

Just got mine scheduled with this number tel:+18008723674.

anyone else have to go kind of far for their drug test?
 
Yeah, the closest one to me was an hour away, so I drove an hour to get there, used the bathroom, then drove an hour home, lol.
? I guess that’s what I’m going to be doing too. I thought maybe they didn’t search my area right or something since there’s tons of medical facilities near me

This is gonna sound stupid, but can anyone confirm this is a valid phone number to use? I know the drug test has to be done within 5 business days of the medical exam (which is on Monday for me) so I don't want to screw it up
