Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-20-ATCEXP-66595

Reached out to the Phoenix Tracon POC and received this “It is up to the individual facilities and states. We have not yet been given the go ahead to start testing”.

I had it in mind to ask the HR when I went to take it and then totally spaced. Sorry, but that test was really mind numbing though.
How did you get on this priority list? Are you prior FAA?
 
Have you all checked out the recent terminal placement list? The facility list has a good possibility to be pretty sweet
 
What's the guidance on what facilities are starting MMPI testing? I find it hard to believe that my local city has more Covid cases per capita than Vegas.
Not sure what the guidance is but I contacted proctors from the surrounding states that were closest to me (AL, FL, and GA) and they said “We are preparing to open, a new program is being installed as we speak.” Only one that for sure was taking appts when I called was AL.

Are they letting you guys drive a state or two if you ask?
 
I tried scheduling one for Vegas this morning, initially they were cool with me coming from Phoenix to take it next week. Then they mentioned I could get one in Prescott if I wanted. So I called Prescott and they were cool with it, but asked why I didn’t just go to Phoenix. Said that they’re in the same district as them and that they should have began proctoring tests on Monday. Sent Phoenix an email and they gave me the “up to individual states and facilities” line. Called Prescott back and told them what happened. The guy there was super helpful and set me up for next week.

Nice! Didn’t even consider checking with Prescott or Tucson because I figured I would get the same response I got from Phoenix.

Is talk to as many facilities (within a distance you're willing to travel) and talk to them. I've had quite a varied response from the several facilities I've talked to.
