Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-18-ALLSRCE-57792

[Dpacheco]

Weird, I talked to HR and they said they got my drug test but they're waiting for my medical still. Fuck me, I knew it was too good to be true. Drug test refresh apparently doesn't equal medically cleared.

Typically your med rep sends the stuff to hr so I would be checking with them daily because they might have it in their inbox. A lot of ppl are probably getting cleared. These things come in waves

HR emailed me. It was LM. My original poc HW is on break until January 7th. Thanks!! Might see you the 26th. I wanted enroute so bad.

I wanted enroute so bad.

Why the strong preference for enroute?

 

[yungsodapapi]

Why the strong preference for enroute?

I just want to settle in the city I relocate to for 3-5 years (I hate moving). The facilities offer more amenities, pay is better without moving, and I don’t want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere knowing I’m only going to be there for a year. I heard enroute was tougher, I like a challenge. ( idk for sure, all sources come from these forums. 😂)

Quick question, at Kim's do you share the dwelling with others?

Quick question, at Kim's do you share the dwelling with others?

You do, but you get to keep your food per diem.

 

[orochimaru]

You do, but you get to keep your food per diem.

So you pocket like $30/per day by staying at Kim's?

 

[Dpacheco]

Quick question, at Kim's do you share the dwelling with others?

1 roommate in a 4 br house and your housing per diem covers everything, plus they have shuttle pick up. This helps you save your food/incidentals. Best thing to do is figure out who your classmates are gonna be and try to get somewhere together. It makes things a lot easier. We had 1 guy staying at anatole and he switched right away so he could be here at kims with us

So you pocket like $30/per day by staying at Kim's?

Yes, everywhere else with the exception of one other place can’t remember who’s the provider. You’re responsible for your own food, meaning you’re spending your food pier diem.

Housing per diem is use it or lose it now, so definitely pick the best place possible. You don’t pocket any extra cash staying at one place over another now.

Several of the housing providers maintain listings in the resources section. You can post in those threads or message them for information.

They take all your housing pier diem, not incidentals.

Decided to end my process. Was Tier 2 and still waiting on an eval appt. Nowhere in sight. Got selected for a better opportunity and decided to go for it since it's my last chance. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
