Heard through the grapevine that they officially got the word that they're being downgraded to a 9.

I’ve been hearing that for a while too. When is it supposed to take effect?

Weird, only been in the red for an entire decade...
They're displayed as a 9 on the current ppt.

 

[NavyTrev]

I heard they were going down to a 9 also, and also heard they won’t be down graded because the airport is metered. Who knows

It was going to happen eventually. Is CIP something that is negotiable? 3.3% seems relatively low for the D.C. area especially considering the downgrade. ADW has a higher CIP than DCA

 

[ajmezz]

No idea when it will officially drop to the 9, but as mentioned, it's been a long time coming at this point. They've been below their TCI (traffic count index) for over 2 years now, at least. No clue how CIP is negotiated, but ADW is also a level 5, so having a higher CIP seems warranted just to try and keep people or get them to ERR in (ha!).

 

[AF3029]

Will they be able to pick anyone up next panel?

 

[Tusaz]

Yes.

[Inside]

The downgrade date is 10/28/2018. You have to do it on an FAA computer, but it's in the tcip section on aap.faa.gov

West Coast guy here. You hear that DC is expensive but is it really that bad that level 9 pay with locality wont get the job done? Or does DCA have other issues?

I mean, DC is just like any other big city around the country with good/bad areas to live, crazy taxes, etc. We have plenty of guys at ADW with families that make it work, so I have no doubt level 9 pay is more than adequate. Everyone's situation is different though and just depends on the type of lifestyle you want (condo with the ability to walk or take public transport to everything you need vs house with yard etc). I've only visited DCA a couple times, but everyone seemed to get along. I've heard both sides of the coin about the facility (toxic vs great) so I can't give a definitive answer. In regards to COL though, level 9 pay with the area locality is more than adequate.

Thanks for the info, guessing Dulles would be similar then.

 

[ajmezz]

Yeah and even with bwi only being an 8. You won’t be living like a king like you would with equivalent pay in a cheaper col area, but you’re definitely not hurting.

Anyone in this community work here?

[4MIT?]

When you ask for 4MIT on the arrivals, you really need that? Or is 2.5MIT cool?
