I was thinking the same thing. No one said anything for like a week, then I checked today and it was a lot to digest haha

And idk about anyone else, but I for one wouldn't mind working with GBP. Seems like a straight shooter to me haha

Just had a rough 48 hours... I'm actually one of the happiest nicest people (at least controllers) that you'll ever meet.

Legend has it if you fail training they get GBP to drag you down to the nearest WallyWorld and scrub the bathroom for $3 less than minimum wage

Those applicants that are able to overcome the incredible hardship that having a numlock key on the keyboard can cause deserve it more than those who can't, sorry. Everyone has worked hard (but not really that hard) to this point, just because some didn't struggle with the overlay and/or didn't mind the keyboard keys doesn't mean they had an easier road. I hate the "I worked hard to get here" line. You and everyone else.

If the numlock key and loose overlay eliminate even one person that can't adapt to tough situations, I'm glad they're there. What if there wasn't an overlay, you just had to remember where they were? You can say you don't want to work with me and that's fair but these things are as much of a skill you need as being able to answer the questions on the test. So is being able to work with people that have been doing it and don't want to hear people complain about stuff EVERYONE has to deal with as being unfair.

This obviously doesn't apply to any legitimate equipment issues

There’s hope for us all. Hopefully some TOLs roll out for the ‘18ers for a Christmas present this year.

Man, I came back for the first time in a week or two and saw a bunch of new pages on this thread and got my hopes up people were getting referred... oh well, back to waiting and seeing how long I can go without checking.

Thanks for addressing the “my keyboard wasn’t working “ people was getting pretty annoying ? at least that means more spots for us more fortunate souls.

the psi proctor didn't know what he was doing and closed the second part of the test, and started the first part again and then closed that before he made a phone call. should I call psi to make sure they got the right exam scores?

Last year, they got my computer mixed up with someone’s across the room, totally wrong name and ID. Luckily I caught it. Never hurts to ask and remember your seat number and AVIATOR ID.

My test went flawless, but my gender was listed as "F". Frack me

Congrats on the new career as well as the new lifestyle

I had my gender listed as female as well. PSI told me that it isn't a big deal and they submitted an incident report for the gender as well as my caps lock getting stuck during the collision scenarios. Here's hoping all works out!

Thank you! If you can get past my hairy chest, you'll notice I make a sexy female.

 

[nickmeyer93]

Yep my gender said F as well but the last of my SSN matched so I didn't think it would be a problem.

Wait till they find out that the FAA flips the keypad around anyway

Sometimes I feel like they sneak in and rearrange it when I'm off

Did everyone get math problems with decimals during the simulation?
