Eligibility
Facility must be cat1 or cat2. Selections can be made from a facility to the point when either AOB or Projected drops one below the category threshold.
For example:
Cat II = 85%
Facility = 90%
Individual CPC = 3%
Two selections can be made, as the second drops the facility to 84%.
Selection
Facility priority is the sole factor to determine which facility you will be selected at. Available slots will be filled in order of priority, until there are no eligible ERRs or no available slots.
#1 exhausts all slots/ERRs before #2 is considered
#2 exhausts all slots/ERRs before #3 is considered, etc...
If an individual files multiple ERRs, they will be placed in the highest priority facility with available slots. They
will not be considered for any other slot once placed.
Manager Ranking: This is
only used as a potential tie breaker where there are more individuals than slots available at a single facility. Manager ranking has
no impact on
which facility you will be selected at. Manager's have the ability to rank an applicant as "insufficient experience" in order to request the individual is not selected.
ERR File date
Previously used for selection tie breaker between two people going from and to the same facility where only one could be selected. This function is replaced by manager ranking. The file date is used as a tie breaker in the event multiple people are selected to leave the same facility, the releases will be given in order of file date.
Slot Availability
- Consideration of ERR will generally occur up to a projected CPC to target of at or below 85%.
- Above 85% will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Transfer to Lvl 9 and below, up to 100% projected only considered for "extenuating circumstances" after all other ERR are considered.
- Panel may expand the above to additional facility levels.
Note: Selections are allowed until the facility goes over the target. IE: 84% would still allow 1 selection assuming it moves the projected number over 85%.
As of Q2 '19,
NCEPT panel may pass over eligible ERR's if the gaining facility has a "high" trainee to CPC ratio. Facilities are not eligible to receive transfers if the total number of controllers to trainees is at or above 30%.
Swaps
Swaps are only considered after all ERRs. Both facilities must be cat 1 or cat 2 to be eligible.
If either of the swapping facilities are not cat1/2, the swap is denied.
Timeline
There is a deadline for err submissions/withdrawals, about 3 weeks before a selection panel. Anything after this deadline will not be processed for the current panel. (The dates are posted in the first post of a panels thread.)
Roughly 2 weeks before the panel, the final priority placement lists will be generated for the panel.
You will not know the definitive priority list prior to submitting the ERR paperwork.
The PPT run in the month prior to the panel is the data that is used for the panel. At this point, the information is essentially frozen until the selections begins. That means certifications, retirements, etc. which happen from the time of the final PPT run to the selection panel will have
no impact on the current panel.
Note: CPC-ITs are checked to verify their status before the panel, and will be considered as CPC's if they are certified after the PPT run, but prior to the panel.
