The FAA needs to shit or get off the pot with 804. We aren’t getting the technology upgrades we need because we are supposed to move to ZMA, but we aren’t moving to ZMA… stuck in purgatory.

And I agree. We need a priority bid here. But won’t happen.

Gov’t intelligence is an oxymoron. And the union won’t do crap about anything. We can’t legally strike=no horsepower, so basically we take whatever they dish out…

 

[Dues For Booze]

The only winning move is not to play.

A former controller once said - If you can't strike, it's just a glorified pizza club. This person is much happier flying jets, with better pay and more days off.

Cpc-it

if youre talking about MSN it was a dev not a cpc-it

Nah, my old facility. But wow to a dev getting picked up if cpcs are trying to get out.

I'm curious where the dev applied to compared to the CPCs. This is where most of you fail to understand that highly sought after facilities only have so many positions.

I understand how it works and have no dog in the fight, so is what it is at the end of the day. Just surprised to see a dev/cpc-it (sounds like more than one this panel) get selected. I can't get the latest ppt on the natca site to work correctly, so can't really see some of the facilities I know people had in for vs the rules. I do know a couple couldn't select or only get 1-2 max. I know for sure one guy had in for pct and kind of surprising they didn't pick up any at all.

 

[Wizard]

Id be willing to bet all of the devs picked up are females (I really don’t know)

 

[S.T.O.P.]

Alright it was a good run boys, let’s move on to November 🫡

Seeing a trainee get selected over cpc’s 🫣🤯

Sometimes if a trainee checks out just before the SWB the posted list doesn’t reflect that, I’ve seen it happen before and know the person was actually checked out

Yeah, that wasn’t the case in this instance. This person was a week away from a trb. I like the person and wish nothing but the best for them. Just surprising to see I guess.

looks like it was 1/2. Guess I was wrong.

 

[S.T.O.P.]

I just looked at the list and saw there were no “round 3” selections. But there are 8’s and 9’s on this selection list that are projected over 90% meaning they can’t pick up UNTIL round 3. Is this dynamic decisions?

Maybe nobody was eligible to release at that point.

 

[S.T.O.P.]

Releasability aside, the ability to pick up is what I was inquiring about. If a facility lvl 8-9 is projected over 90%, they can only pick up in round 3.

It said there were 0 round 3 selections.

Yet, facilities that could only pick up in round 3 had selected people.

That was my main thing

Edit: I stand corrected, I didn't realize that the selection rounds were posted on the far left. I thought it was the top of the page, all good

There were 21 round 3 selections

I think you were looking at the top where it says "category 3 selections" but the round people were chosen in is the far left column of every person selected. There were plenty of people taken in the 3rd round.

Is it pretty easy to get the 3 month release date pushed back to 6 months? The way it reads is just by employee request, and anything over 6months needs written justification?

Yeah, I just sent an email to my atm with my request and had my last day/requested start date at new place. They’ll take care of the rest.

Awesome thanks! I did the same as well, so I’m waiting to hear back. I figured that it shouldn’t be much of a problem
