Well today I learned it's now called the ATSA. Thanks for the info! Hoping I hear something soon.
Hiring Bid AAL-ATO-21-ALLSRCE-73575 (Flight Service)
- Thread starter GulfCharlie
- Start date
You need to be separated for a year in order to apply to a prior experience bid, otherwise people wouldn't follow the proper channels to go to another facility, ie. NCEPT or hardship. However, the fine print on the prior experience bids specify 52 weeks at a tower or radar facility. So separating from FSS for a year, in order to get into a tower/center, via a prior experience bid, isn't advisable. That trick has been tried.Was reading a thread from someone on reddit who tried applying to the OTS ATO bid and got emailed saying they're currently an FAA controller. A reply to them said (sic) I took some time off moving back home before applying to the prior experience bid after 12 months. So I'm just getting that 'wait a year' from someone else's commentyou'd know better than I! Probably don't have to wait any time thats just one persons choice
Supposedly natca IS working on incorporating FSS into the NCEPT program though, which will allow us to xfer to other facility types. Not sure if that will actually happen though
Both being coded as 2152 jobs, the government uses the exact same tests.

Any word on hiring for this? If you take your ATSA for the controller job but don't do well, are you allowed to retake it for when the hiring process for this starts?

Has anyone received a TOL for this bid?
I did in the beginning of October.

What’s the process been like for you so far? I’m trying to get an idea of how long it takes and what the process is like from accepting the offer.
Well I declined the offer because I was at the academy already and a month away from evals.
