[naryfx]

well this ncept panel went better than expected, good thing I upped my PAC contributions...

 

[Charlie_Foxtrot]

This is the NCEPT that finally managed to break my spirit. I concede.

 

[JNev]

PAO, OMA, LIT to SFO. Should be interesting

 

[The_Zone]

Someone is salty... lol Congrats to all who were picked up!

How in the world did BJC get anyone, #297 on NCEPT priority, they can lose 2 controllers yet they pick up someone? Meanwhile D21 has a target of 2 with a possible gains of 6 and skipped over?!

I know...I did not expect that at all.

Yeah. Getting passed over by lower facilities time and time again is fun.

 

[Mike Kilo]

The only consistency of NCEPT!

LC at PAO is harder than SFO, lots of former PAO guys at SFO and none will dispute that. GC on the other hand..... yep

D21 has too many people in training that's why they didn't pick anyone up.

Clarify if I’m wrong please, but isn’t HR supposed to “clear out” your ERR folder when you get selected on a panel? I was selected last panel but all my other requests remained in somehow and I was selected again this panel after signing the FOL and everything. No intentions on changing my facility selection at all but my coworkers that were not given a shot at getting picked still have grounds for a Priority placement next panel correct?

Does anyone think

From everything in shown writing, yes you are correct on HR removing all other ERR submissions after the December panel. As for them getting priority placement, I’m not 100% sure. May be able to file a grievance.

 

[PushingTin]

Why can't we have nice things?

 

[ManBearPig]

I am also at the point where NCEPT has just about broken me. Fuck. This. Shit.

 

[Super Salt]

What’s the final tally for selections this round? I noticed the 3 swaps but didn’t take the time to count out the selections.

The single runway at PAO is harder than the busiest local in the world, with 4 runways in constant use that intersect? I'm thinking you have no idea what you're talking about.

I can see it being true tbh. Heard local is relatively easy and local at a class D is notoriously hard. Ground is proportionally way way more difficult though and I can’t imagine it’s even close

 

[Mike Kilo]

Any SFO to comment? I worked with a guy that said SFO local could be a major bitch, one local works all runways, arrival and departures, because they intersect.

I don't see how that can be true about local. It doesn't sound like you've heard from someone who works there.

If that did happen and you don’t let someone know how could they fix it? Mistakes happen. So instead of talking about how messed up it is tell someone so it could get fixed or shut up about it.

What kind of good controller actually does that?

 

[CF]

My supe has worked at both. I’ll ask him tomorrow and report back.
