And you ran this through your NCEPT rep and what'd they say?Huh wondered why an outbound and someone who was already a supe wasn't shown on the books at my last facility 🤔

There's only so many labs available. I mean they could add a midnight shift but that's about all besides filling the classes.I don’t think we can ever get to a solution in the current system, but I think the FAA should start looking at all of the people who are medically DQ’d for more than a few months and start sending them to OKC to teach some classes. They can do a month, then rotate through the next batch of DQs. Need to find something for them to do other than mooch, cause I’m sure there are plenty who just sit around and aren’t doing things for the facility.
They can keep getting paid whatever amount they’re getting to sit around at their current facility, and throw in some per diem, and then overload the academy with as many classes as possible. That place should be packed non-stop. We need classes doing evals every week or every two weeks.
I doubt this is realistic in many ways (so feel free to blow the whole concept to shreds), but I’m sure there’s plenty of bored DQ people who would love to make money and not be bored out of their minds.
Interesting idea. Not sure the legalities of it. You can't force people to move somewhere (I don't think) but technically you should be able to do some virtual training at the facility to spin them up to the academy way then have them do a month or two TDY since that seems fine considering we do RTF and such. I also think the academy is limited on space plus you need RPOs.

Prior exp bid: roll the dice and see what you get.If I quit for a year could I only go back to my last facility or could I go to any of my pervious facilities?
He makes his own luckYour first guess was right
How do you know this? The instructions still show that a rating officials signature is needed and if it isn't anymore that would be awesome. I'm tired of having my supe talk me out of putting paperwork out to specific facilities lmaoI agree, but for FWIW, only your signature is required now.
I see the merit of thisI don’t think we can ever get to a solution in the current system, but I think the FAA should start looking at all of the people who are medically DQ’d for more than a few months and start sending them to OKC to teach some classes.

When I put in paperwork last year, HR confirmed it was no longer required.How do you know this?

Also most bids now state to include the first page of the 3330-43(-1) which doesn’t have the signatures on it.When I put in paperwork last year, HR confirmed it was no longer required.
Does anyone have the Manager’s Ranking List for this NCEPT?
Yes, it's earlier in this thread. You might have to scroll through a few pages before you find it.

Yeah...the issue is the FAA is at a point where they are required to have creative problem solving skills and we all know they don't. Their decisions from the national down to the local levels usually are short-sighted and come back to fuck them in the future. There is solutions to help alleviate some minor issues for the overall staffing crisis but they are stubborn and refuse to truly admit their current plan isn't fixing the issueI don’t think we can ever get to a solution in the current system, but I think the FAA should start looking at all of the people who are medically DQ’d for more than a few months and start sending them to OKC to teach some classes.

It's obvious some people have done nothing but ATC in their life or lack critical thinking... literally someone on the NCEPT panel agrees with me on this. If there is no data for your argument, then you're simply wrong.
Didn't know that but it makes sensePSP is kind of a well-known washout facility, is it not? A chunk of those people know they can’t make it elsewhere already.
I did the research so you don't have to:This is the first time I've really looked at the ERR demand and some of it is really intriguing. How is ISP, a level 7 in an extremely HCOL area, 94% staffed with zero ERRs on file? Or better yet, how is PSP, level 5 in a place where its probably impossible to find a 2BR apt for under 2k/month, fairly well-staffed with zero ERRs on file?
Kind of bucks the "everyone wants to be in the same top five level 12s" narrative. The answer to our staffing issue might be looking to see what is working for these facilities. Soul_Controller CoffeeIV would love your thoughts on this.
