3rd Quarter 2017

[breakaway2000]

so you don't need to be in category to get considered for 9 and below? Up to 100% projected staffing?

Negative, need to be Cat 1 or Cat 2. All other ERRs have been filtered out prior to showing up on the manager's ranking list

So guys my manager just showed me the manager list, it's a list of everyone eligible for the gaining facility! I can tell you that ZTL had 31 eligible CLT had 42 JAX had I think around 14-15 and ATL had 0.

Oh yeah DEN had like 65 eligible

If you get another look, you should definitely send the numbers for the top 25 or so.

Wow! Man I knew this panel was going to be competitive but holy crap. Did you get a glance at IAH or LAX?

That is disheartening... hoping some of my random 8s that I put in come through

Ive got 2 at my place in for IAH.

I have at least 3, there will be a ton, they even said they widdle down their list by crossing off all 8's and below

Can you see the managers list on the KSN site?

What?! Level 4 VFR tower applicants are no longer considered for level 12 TRACONs?! How completely unfair!

 

[Move78]

Den 68
IAH 58

 

[Move78]

I looked at Den closely and was surprised it wasn't more top heavy.

Judging by the last round, DEN just need four level 6 VFR towers to have paperwork in.

This will be the first truly competitive round with the exemption status removal. I'm a 7 up/down and had no shot at DEN this round. But I do think all the big tracons that are picking up dozens are going to be a little disappointed still. Cuz they're lists will still be picked over heavily by the time they're allowed to draft.

 

[Mike Kilo]

I know numerous people from eligible facilities 8-11 on the last round that were passed over in favor of low levels. It wasn't "NCEPT". It was management rankings.

I find this hard to believe. Might be a tower only passed over for a lower level radar ticket. Might be that they only appeared eligible but were no longer eligible by the time their requested facility got to draft. Or you could be right and they just got hosed. But that would be outrageous.

I assure you, it is outrageous. One of the most sought after towers and they award positions to people with 2.5 years in the agency from level 6 facilities. Be assured, the good ole boy program is alive and well. Staffing category may hamper it, but it still flourishes.

You mean like awarding people who haven't even started with a position at highly desirable places like APA, MIA, BFI, S46, P80 etc?

 

[corn4ahead]

Can we get a top 25 please!

 

[Andrew]

Denver Tracon had around 55 eligible
