This is how I'm feeling unfortunately. Oh well, it's my first time applying and I'm only 18 so I've got plenty of chances ahead of me! I just hope I get picked up this next round, that would be life changing.

Yea luckily you’re young, this is probably the last chance I have. 5th time applying 2 PubNats 1 OTS 2 CTI and this is the first time I get to the referral stage. Will be heartbreaking not to receive a TOL as I would just want a opportunity to go to OKC and show them what I have to offer. Not saying that I’m better than anyone nor am I the best, but I just personally want that opportunity. Dream job, if this doesn’t come through not sure what I’ll do in the future.

Just out of curiosity, how do you meet the minimum education/work experience requirements for this job at 18 years old? You don't see many 18 year olds who can meet those requirements, and I know I didn't meet the minimum threshold at 18.
 
Someone posted earlier that 1100 TOL’s were sent out, does anyone have any statistics on how many were pool 1 or pool 2? Would be interesting to see if any pool 2 band 2 applicants made it through. Although, with the number of TOL’s sent it seems the majority would be pool 1 applicants.

I'll take a stab at it. They changed the requirements this past panel. You can qualify in one of five ways.
1. Work experience - no
2. Education - no
3. Combination of the two - no
4. Prior controller - no
5. Alternate requirements
  • TO QUALIFY BASED ON ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS: applicants must provide supporting documentation that verifies at least one of the following alternative requirements being met: a. Do you hold or have held an appropriate facility rating and have actively controlled air traffic in civilian or military air traffic control terminals or centers? b. Do you hold or have held an FAA certificate as a dispatcher for an air carrier? c. Do you hold or have held an instrument flight rating? d. Do you hold or have held an FAA certificate as a navigator or have been fully qualified as a Navigator/Bombardier in the Armed Forces? e. Do you have 350 hours of flight time as a copilot or higher and hold or have held a private certificate or equivalent Armed Forces rating? f. Have you served as a rated Aerospace Defense Command Intercept Director?
You can get instrument rated before you're able to drive a car. It's expensive, but it's certainly the quickest way to become eligible.

Work experience. My father owns a business and I'd work with him nearly full time during the school year and overtime in the summers

14 is the minimum age to have a full time job in the USA I thought you needed 5 years.

Per the bid.

TO QUALIFY BASED ON PROGRESSIVELY RESPONSIBLE WORK EXPERIENCE: applicants must document 3 years of full time (40 hours per week) progressively responsible experience. Most types of paid or unpaid employment will provide progressively responsible experience as the individual doing the work learns about the organization, gains knowledge about the work, and demonstrates responsibility.

no one knows what band they are
edit: sorry that wasnt very helpful of me, your band is based on your atsa score and those arent released!

Lol comments on here dont bother me. Thats what my buddy said he was which is why i posted it, but it makes sense that since the scores are released he wouldnt know his band, but he is pool 2.
 
From stuck mic

“Just got EODS forms and the AT Basics Election Form in my inbox (12/28 TOL/Terminal”

What does this mean? Is this related to CIL?
