Dang, I only just checked usajobs now as I've been busy. Apparently I'm BQ referred, last time I was BQ not referred. I did not retake AT-SA...
In other news, last month, I started a new job, during the pandemic, in the IT field that pays more than what a long term/veteran CPC would get in a high cost of living area in just monetary compensation. Plus, they have stock options and what have you, and I DON'T live in a high cost of living area.
FAA has also deferred my PPL medical certificate with Federal Air Surgeon's office in DC for nearly 2 years now due to medical history. There has been no formal denial or issuance at all yet. I'd likely have to tier 2 if I were to actually get a TOL and elect to start the process due to the medical history that is causing this endless deferral.
I don't know how I feel about anything anymore...I don't trust FAA as they can't simply figure me out and let me know if I can even fly a plane solo legally in a reasonable period of time, it's like the world is telling me to stay in tech. I mean, I'm ok here as is in tech, but would controlling/aviation be worth risking all I have? Lol.
