So, when looking at the updated ppt on the natca site which column has the # of people a facility can pick up?
Column Y (possible gains to the national average) is the 'first pass' and the total amount facilities 10-12 can select. Column Z (Possible gains to target) is total amount facilities 4-9 can select.

Example. A level 9 facility has a column Y value of 4 and a column Z value of 6. On the first pass, they can select up to 4, on the second pass they can select 2 (6-4=2) for a total of 6.
 
Reviewing the PPT, is there a way to tell off the PPT what the December facility priority list may look like prior to Tuesday? Also what is the formula for deciding how many people a facility can release?

As far as the priority list, no. We had a natca higher up for our region basically say it's a huge algorithm involving obvious factors like staffing shortages, outbounds, facility levels etc as well as non-obvious factors like core-airports, retirement and attrition. Judging by all the past panels, the priority list didn't really change drastically from the month before to the selection copy. Maybe a facility moved a couple slots or gained/lost a possible gain.

To be eligible to release someone... A facility but meet both CURRENT and PROJECTED staffing numbers.

For CURRENT, your CPC % must be higher than the natl avg, which right now is like 81.9% ... Not sure what facility you are at, but that's an easy number to find on the Excel spreadsheet, Column K... If it is greater than the natl avg, move on to PROJECTED... If not, your only options would be to bid out to either N90 C90 A80 or LAX (I will discuss this option last)

PROJECTED, the other part of the equation in order to release someone is projected staffing. This is column X in the Excel spreadsheet. Projected staffing must be above 85%. Projected staffing is a formula that computes all your inbounds/outbounds/retirements/washouts together to project your staffing percentage in the near future.

So, if you CURRENT is above the natl avg, and your PROJECTED is above 85%, congratulations, you can release someone.
 
If your current is above 90%, then that release is what's called a category 1, which must be within 3mos, extendable to 6 mos at employees request. Once your current would drop below 90% , you can still release down to the natl avg (currently 81.9%) and would get a category 2 release, which is within one yr of selection. If your facility doesn't meet both projected and current staffing, you could only be eligible to go to n90 (lvl8 and above), c90 (lvl8 and above) a80 or LAX.

Once the final PPT is release this week, there are hidden columns once the double letters start... Drag those out and you will find a column that shows each facility's possible losses aka how many the can release.

Hope this helps.
 
It’s a kick in the dick for the several facilities at 81.8%. 0.10% below the average. They should just open it up to those facilities as well
 
Ah. Well new to me. I see the last one on here was posted late October... Figured this was the one for Nov/selections. Was on leave last week so hadn't seen anything. Thanks for clarifying
Yeah, didn’t update it since they are releasing a new one tomorrow.
 
So the 11/22 numbers don’t mean anything?
Most of them are right, but there are probably a few mistakes with the corrections showing up on the one that comes out today. The one from 11/22 will not be used for the NCEPT panel in December, so even though most of it is right, its for informatonal purposes only until today's PPT comes out.
 
@MJ
Final Dec priority ranking list is out.
Looks like the K90 back door to A90 is still cracked...
New PPT 11/28 as well

If someone could post the new PPT too, if that gets updated today, I'd appreciate it. We might be one of those facilities where we go from being able to release to not being able to release in a matter of a few days, so I'm curious
 
I am just as confused as anyone with this process. My facility has an 11 CPC target with 10 onboard, minus 1 temp outbound (she reported to her new temp facility yesterday), which places us right at the current national average of 81.8%, with 3 trainees, of which 2.5 are expected to certify, placing us at 109.6% overall staffing. With these numbers, can anyone determine if we (BJC) can let someone go?

Yes, 1, column AP
