I really can't belive no one that posts on here knows anyone at HR and can give real info and not hear say, like info leaks from the damn oval office but not here?

If you were an HR person, would you risk your job over letting people know info about the bid?

The people at HR probably don’t know crap either. Lol

When was the last time there were 2 OTS bids in the same year? (Other than the N90 and OTS from this year)

Prior to 2011 there were bids every 3 months for at least a couple years

Well they only hired 663 last fiscal year. They’re behind on their number.

Well that would justify why they are doing another bid soon. Where does this info come from?

So I saw the official numbers today at work and it's basically this. It's not exact, and I don't have access to the site, at home.
Invited to atsa- 4968
Tested- 3200
Passed atsa- 2400
So like 35ish% didn't even schedule/show up for the test. Before anyone asks, I can't see how many are pool 1 or pool 2, it doesn't break it down to that extent.

Very helpful, thanks. So The 2400 includes both pools?

You are the man!! i think it was said earlier that they want to hire around 1400 this year(2019)? but seeing as only 663 got hired last year means that people have a 30%-50% chance of getting TOL? (lower % because of people from previous years that are still in the process of getting hired)

 

[yup]

Keep in mind that the projected-hiring-number includes prior experience bids as well. Thanks for the info, J.

Haha wasn't trying to be sassy apologies

HR is the one that said there is another bid in January. Not hear say.

 

[ATCHopeful]

Wow a 75% pass rate for the ATSA. Going to have to score very high to get in this bid with both that pass rate and the sheer number of people.

I called today and was told the same thing, so you’re good, man ??

I was thinking the number of people was pretty low? 2400 when they’re taking 1431? I know the 2400 doesn’t account for everyone, but still

 

[kshaky]

Is it true that this is the first time Pool 1 applicants don't have to take the BA? I'm thinking that would lead more CTI graduates to apply and make it this far. A possible explanation of why the pass rates is so high.

Edit: Also a few hundred from the N90 who had a second go at the ATSA.

Just for a TOL, still need to get through physical CIL and MMPI. Rip

They are definitely not hiring 1400 from this bid. 1400 is for the entire fiscal year. Prior experience, CPC reinstatement (maybe?), N90 bid, Jan (Apparently) OTS bid. I doubt they officially hire much more 800 from this bid, if that. Remember the Academy severely limits the number of controllers processed per year. Why hire for two to three years worth of Academy slots when you can put out a new bid and get new high scores?
