You guys are the least important.

Right now yeah I suppose but like...you can't get more atc's without hiring more atc's... or do I have the backwards logic now

 

[BillyBob]

How long after submitting everything did y’all reach out to your POC?

 

[controllerfreak]

Anyone who accepted a class date get their FOL yet?

I had CS a year ago or so. CS was actually really good and on top of it.

I think like 2-3 weeks. I know this process can take a few months to a few years but when you're conditioned to give and receive constant status updates on everything it feels unnatural to go so long without news. But since all I need is my medical clearance I'm just gonna leave my POC alone ?

Well I mean, they have prior experiance bids, and I'm assuming people coming out of the Air Force get priority over people OTS. People need to relax haha

You also can't have any air traffic movement without keep current controllers medically cleared. Current controllers take precedence over anyone in the hiring process.

I don't know for sure but I'd imagine they may also process pilot medical, maybe.

I do, haven’t interacted with her much thus far though.

Got an email from medical that I would need the treating physician for my childhood asthma to fill out a form. Only problem is that those medical records have been destroyed and it's been at least 8 years since I was last seen by that doctor. Wonder how much time this'll add to my medical clearance lol

They sent a form for the physician for you? I just got a questionnaire. I haven’t been affected by it for over 20years.

I have asked, tried to clarify something about my security clearance and sent her an email, haven’t heard back. It’s been a week.

no no no for real I've been so caught up in my own impatience I literally didn't connect "regional flight surgeon" with "current CPCs and pilots who need medicals too" lmao

Anyone else had their drug test get lost? My medical POC told me I have passed everything but my drug test results weren't in. I told her that I took my drug test 3 weeks ago. She told me to call the place we scheduled the drug test through. They didnt have the results. So then I contacted the place I took the drug test at. They didnt have the results. Then they gave me a number to call and guess who that number was ...my Medical POC. I completed the full circle and no one knew what my results were lol.

CS is my POC, she didn’t reply back to my email so I just called her.

When I got hired ten years ago they lost my drug test and didn't say anything for two months. I ended up having to take a second drug test.
