Got the email today that my tier 2 is finally over with. I just need to send in another drug test and I’ll be all good.
Anyone that’s done this before know how long it’ll take for the drug test and everything to get cleared? Ready for the academy already!
As of September 11th, 377 from 2016 and 371 from 2017 are remaining.Anyone have updated numbers on how many applicants are left from the 2016 and 2017 bid? I remember seeing somewhere around 600 a couple of months ago
Thanks for the response! What’s determines when they drop from that list? As soon as they get a class date or are in the academy?As of September 11th, 377 from 2016 and 371 from 2017 are remaining.
Would be after having received a FOL since that's when the FAA counts them as "hired."Thanks for the response! What’s determines when they drop from that list? As soon as they get a class date or are in the academy?
Thanks for the clarification Stinger. I’ve looked at all the classes for terminal and enroute but they have different amounts of students it seems, on average how many students does the academy take a month?Would be after having received a FOL since that's when the FAA counts them as "hired."

I’m from the ‘17 OTS bid. Hoping the academy is around the corner...is that false hope? lolWere you a '16 or '17 applicant?
Not at all, unless you’re tier 2 I bet it’ll be in a few monthsI’m from the ‘17 OTS bid. Hoping the academy is around the corner...is that false hope? lol
So there's 377 Tier 1 people from 2016 that have not received an FOL, and have also not been disqualified?
Apparently, i'm one of those 371 from 2017. I'm not sure if I should feel encouraged or disheartened. I haven't been notified of Tier 2, or disqualification, or really anything other that my file is awaiting flight surgeon review.
I wonder how many of those 2016 kids don't frequent the forum and have forgotten about this entirely, until years later a call from the FAA is giving them a clas date and they go " wait what? that was YEARS ago".
Well I am tier 2, as my post said.Not at all, unless you’re tier 2 I bet it’ll be in a few months
