[Acquired Taste]

Damn, all you guys really just will not stop spamming that the bid is open for the whole world to know so my chances get totally cucked haha. But since we're here now, how many of you guys out there with higher level experience are planning on applying?

For all those considering it, here's a few things to consider...
1. You have to live in Philly
2. You have to get your ass kicked 6 days a week for 10 hours a day by EWR radar traffic and you will be extremely short staffed indefinitely.
3. You'll be making level 11 pay until the tci numbers catch up and they get upgraded, which is not necessarily guaranteed considering PHL was running level 9 numbers last I checked. I think they should eventually be a 12 but it could be a couple years since the tci is on a 1 year rolling average.
4. It's most likely a career long sentence assuming you are one of the 30% who succeeds, unless of course you pull a hardship out of your ass.
5. When you're one of the 70% who washes, you're headed right back to the shit hole you just came from.
