My days just get looking brighter and brighter as a vet. Hopefully I made band 1 and not scored with a minimum score.

Breakaway thanks for the excellent breakdown. Just a quick question, I'm having trouble understanding something.
You mentioned there that " With only 452 CTI-ers in the high band, the remaining pool 2 Vets will be hired before the pool 2 CTI-ers."
Did you mean to say the remaining band 2 Vets will be hired before the band 2 CTI-ers?
Thanks for the help, just a little confused

From what I heard no one who scored in band 2 was hired last year. Looks like they might need to take some from band 2 this go around.
What makes you say they need to hire from Band 2? With the amount of CTI Band 1 and Military they meet more than half their goal of ~1400. The rest would be hired out of Band 1 OTS right? Unless of course there are not enough Band 1 OTS candidates.
Pretty psyched at the possibility of getting a TOL, but not holding my breath.
Best of luck to all you others out there who passed the ATSA, and a big THANK YOU to everybody on this website who has contributed information, laid out timelines, and encouraged others.
Maybe I'll see some of you in OKC, maybe not. Either way, I hope everybody enjoys the holidays!

Backup plan?
After a year there you can transfer to other federal jobs

You are 50% correct buddy! I worked for the TSA for less than a year (incorrect part)!
However, I had to apply like everyone else and go through the ENTIRE process (correct portion). I was never a new hire in the eyes of the government I was an agency transfer.
Last year, out of 9,302 applicants who passed the ATSA, 3,027 were selected. I think they did that in order to account for attrition (failure to pass medical and background checks)...also according to a guy I knew in placement at the academy, a TON of people (mostly pool 2), don't even respond to the TOL email....like ever. they lose interest. This time around, I think it is very likely they will be dipping into band 2, given the lower number of qualified applicants.

To clean this up...
- 5,243 people passed the AT-SA in 2016.
- They selected 3,027 people to account for two fiscal years of hiring, not attrition
- The vast majority of people respond to a TOL email, the small number that dont, the FAA will replace with additional TOLs
- It is highly unlikely that they dip into band 2 when they are looking to select ~1,400.
Ahhhh! I see. the table I see on this KSN website is pretty limited. so Why did they hire for two fiscal years? and what's stopping them from doing the same thing this year?
