Any word on when OKC classes will resume?

A main reason why people who are waiting get priority may be to prevent physicals from expiring. At least my HR rep mentioned that was a concern.

Well, medicals didn't get a shorter half life as a result of COVID. 2 years is 2 years is 2 years. Doesn't matter if you're 4 months new at your facility or 1.5 years into it.
 
Coworker of mine had her TOL rescinded after last year's shut down. She had already completed everything and was waiting for a list.
highly suspect something else was going on here. The shutdown in and of itself would've given no reason to pull TOLs. Suspected she's fibbing or didn't pass a clearance.

mnsalty may be right - but the faa operates under strange procedures so who knows. I received my TOL on 12/21/18. The government shutdown was literally the next day on 12/22/18. I did not have mine revoked
 
Don't they tell you the reason your TOL gets rescinded?
In 2016 i was told my TOL was rescinded due to “lack of interest”. I completed everything except medical in the 90 day window. I asked HR if my medical could be delayed because my first born was coming out early and they said no problem and theyd make note. After this conversation but before my physical my HR rep quit and nothing was annotated. I got a “thank you for your interest in the FAA” email and my file was deleted. I found out two weeks after my physical when i asked about my facility list
 
Well from the training catalog, looks like starting June 17th you spend 11weeks of virtual initial en route lessons, after basics that is. Who knows after those weeks are up

11 weeks is like the length of the in person course including labs
 
Link: FAA Catalog of Training
Note: This is for En route training (after basics) because I am en route. I cannot find the dates for Terminal so please post a link if one of you guys find it.

The class catalog has updated with information about (possible) academy dates.

The most interesting part of this is that there are 6 classes to start at the same time.

There were 6 classes that were already well into the academy before being sent home. And 1 class that just started 5 days prior. IF this means going back, those first 6 July dates are probably for them.. who knows til we get closer to end of June
 
Today on my zoom call the Academy person monitoring may or may not have accidentally sent a message in the group chat saying that "July 6th is looking good."

Ah, what a shame I'm later. Imagine the facility list that would come from 60 people passing En Route at once!

That is an interesting thought.

Looks like they have all the classes doing the full Enroute coursework from the beggining. Seems unlikely given the classes ahead of me were past nonradar evals.

That was going to be a given, since people who were in basics at academy started online basics over from the beginning no matter where they were.

They will push those dates back into august.
I know it's unlikely to happen since China had their "second wave" happen in Beijing, I think COVID is going to be shutting down academy as soon as it opens personally. Hopefully it works out but I don't think it will.
 
Here's what I found for Terminal

The Beijing wave is 100 cases. Or like 20 minutes of new cases in Orlando.

Thinking China gives accurate numbers is.... unwise.
I don't see my class id # listed on the enroute list and I'm in the process of virtual...???
Enroute (this list of numbers), online basics and online en route training all have different class IDs.

Basics is an entirely different story. It is worth nothing so there are no disadvantages to starting it all over (Except boredom). During the previous shutdown they did not have classes start completely over with the Enroute portion of the Academy. I’m pretty sure that there was a class doing their radar evals when we got sent home. I would be very surprised if they had to start everything from the beginning.

Ah I omitted one class date that I thought was a mistake:

Starts 2020-07-06 and ends 2020-08-07.
That is the only class date that is only a month long.
Perhaps that's what you're talking about?
