Hiring Bid Experienced Bid: FAA-ATO-19-ATCEXP-60073

Anyone prepared to turn down a list if the locations are garbage?
They’ve changed how that’s done. If you turn down the list, they’ll remove you from the hiring process. You used to be able to be placed with the next round of lists but they’ve done away with that. Right?? MJ
 
You say that but in a sense you could be checked out of a level 4 and on to a higher facility in probably a year or so. Just because some of you worked a busy RAPCON, tower or whatever else doesn't always mean you will get a nice mid level facility out of the gate. The FAA needs people at low level hard to staff facility, which is why alot of people got trashy list.

Well. I agree but some people can’t take that big of a pay cut.
 
I know not everyone can take a pay cut, and I know how much it sucks, I took a 40k pay cut for this job. At the end of the day the FAA is going to send people to places were they need bodies.

I would, not because I’m picky about location in the sense of “I deserve my dream facility/region”. But because I spent over a year on a remote tour away from my fiancé and we are about to get married I wouldn’t want to just get back and leave again. I’ll just stay and work here until the next bid if I have to and then after I go through the process for that they can send me to Omaha or whatever undesirable location.

Omaha isn’t even that bad, dude. A lot of people are picky as shit and never actually look and see what there is to do in the area.

There are way worse fly-over, Midwest barely cities that the FAA needs to staff than Omaha. At least it’s a decent sized city with a night life, incredible music scene, plus they have a Whole Foods and a Costco.
 
I'm torn. Right now I'm thinking just pass on a lvl 4 and go overseas until next time, but also reading that one guy say get checked out fast then move on is appealing, but also a crap shoot on how fast you can move on. I'll just not think about it until I get an offer. ;p My thought process anyway.

Whole Food AND a Costco! hahaha

I’ve never been and Omaha was just the first place that came to mind. I know there are worse places to be. Lol

You can turn down that 4 but then you realize 4s are all quick checkouts and generally letting people go left and right. Or you can go to a level 5 up down with a terrible training program and rot for 3 years .
