I manually entered all the new training times and percentages for every facility (based on the email that was sent out) into the June PPT and the new projected national average was 88.9% (up from 87.9), while the new average training time was 1.42 years (down from 1.72). So not as bad as I thought it was going to be but overall, still a larger hurdle to jump.
The training time in years directly effects the proj retirements number that they get from finance and is impossible for us to forecast here. I'm assuming that's the main driver for the natl avg to go to ~92 instead of the 88.9 calculation there.
 
Now we just need 91 CPCs before someone can leave... It's going to be a LONG time before someone gets released other than a hardship, C90/N90, retirement, etc. This was a much needed change and one brought up to Paul, Trish, and Jim (ASO RVP) when this crap was implemented.

Hopefully it will result in A80 getting more than 3 bodies

That's a lot of work. I admire your dedication

As in lower number of projected retirements? Because if the opposite were true the average would drop

The reduced training time in years reduces the the value of the projected retirements column because the training time in years is also the window they use for that stat. The proj retirements is a negative part of the proj staffing formula so a lower proj retirements contributes to a higher proj staffing.
But, unfortunately, we don't have access to the proj retirements formula. So forecasting the July PPT isn't possible.

I wonder who will be ranked higher on the facility priority list, ATL who needs 0 bodies or A80 who needs 91 bodies...my money is still on ATL.

The zero-selection facilities may as well not even be on the priority list. But the big facilities that can select one or two people ranked ahead of A80, ZNY, I90, etc. continues to baffle me.

Was talking to a neighbor, works at ZTL, and he was upset that he has been assigned 3 out of the next 5 weeks for OT. He asked how it was at A80 and I told him I've been assigned a sixth day, every week, 3 out of the last 5 years.

The beauty of a 7 up/down... Had 6 day weeks from october to march, now we are fat almost every shift.

Yea the zero to select really doesn't matter but those 1s and 2s are complete horse cock

Where is this mythical place where A80 and ZTL controllers live in harmony? Peachtree city?
 
Senoia... We probably get along great because we all are off different days of the week. Great neighborhood watch though with all the crazy shifts we all work!
Nice! I've checked that out a little bit, seems like Senoia has a lot of new construction and you get a lot of bang for your buck, any other selling points?

Quite a few new neighborhoods popping up between $275-400K. We live in Fox Hall which is roughly 10-12 minutes from downtown Senoia (a few restaurants), less than 20 minutes from A80 (no traffic), and less than 40 minutes from ZTL (no traffic other than race week). You get A TON of bang for your buck in Senoia vs PTC. I'm sure there will be some new schools being built soon to accommodate the new builds in east Coweta County.
 
With the wording in the email of the PPT being updated quartely after the ncept meets, does that mean they wont run it again right before the ncept meets?

the ppt is run monthly. the training information is updated after.

***Future updates will be done quarterly on months following the NCEPT. I interpreted this statement to mean once a quarter but that would be absurd and inaccurate info for the panel
