Yup. I still have hope. Everything points to more waves coming. If not I will try again in January!Is anyone that didn't yet get a TOL, still holding out hope for one?

I had the exact same question, and pretty much came to the same conclusion. Unfortunately for you, I also came to the conclusion that if I asked I’d get a snarky reply from some a-hole named boots, whose sole purpose seems to be existing as an a-hole in this thread and serving no useful purpose. Thanks for taking one for the teamI received a TOL and replied back within 24 hours. Should I be worried if I haven't heard a reply yet? I would have liked to have received a confirmation of my acceptance already, but with Christmas and the shutdown I assume it would be reasonable to hear a confirmation much later than the five-day window we receive to accept the TOL.
Furthermore, I'm out of the country right now, so it's not so simple to just pick up a phone and call.

Someone on Stuckmic called HR and they said there would be more waves. It's also what has happened in pretty much every other recent bid in the past.@Nisi314
Not trying to be dismissive but what are the things that point to more waves coming?

I don't know, but the person on Stuckmic said HR told them after just the first wave at 12:45pm eastern on Friday they would be sending out more, so that doesn't have anything to do with not accepting a TOL.But isn't that just to replace people who didn't respond to the TOL? Going through the 2017 thread it seems like later "waves" were much, much smaller than the first. I'm still holding out hope, but it's pretty slim at this point.
Yes. Depending on which class has availabilitySo (assuming we pass medical, etc.) are we going to find out if we're enroute or terminal just a few weeks before we head out to the academy?
Does anyone know if either classes are backlogged? I'll be happy with either but I would MUCH rather have terminal.
Doesn't matter what the status is right now... You won't be attending the Academy for months. Most recently I believe they were looking for people to switch to enroute but I can't say for sure. Go back and read threads from a month ago.Does anyone know if either classes are backlogged? I'll be happy with either but I would MUCH rather have terminal.
congrats vault, hope it all works out. Thank you for the advice.Welp, been lurking a while now. Finally got a TOL after two or three unsuccessful bids in the past (the first of which was like 2014), so hopefully this post will be the first of many. First time taking the ATSA, Pool 2 obviously.
Current federal employee, turned 30 just after the bid closed so I think this is my last shot. Will be giving up a decent pay cut just for the opportunity.
For those who didn't get a TOL, set up your e-mail notifications for future bids with a specific search query on USAJOBS and keep working hard at whatever you're doing currently.
