Where else have you certified besides the 5?
Just the 5

Were you in Juneau before? You may want to see if they can offer you a lower level tower to give you the best shot at getting checked out. I wouldn’t come to STL if Juneau is your only tower experience. Not trying to be a jerk but this place surprises a lot of people due to the complexity.
From looking at it, does look like it could be complex, and yes JNU was my previous facility. Thats why i was thinking of FFZ, probably have a better shot there
Oh god I wish that were the case, nah he can absolutely be offered 7's and 8's though. Extremely desirable ones too.

Good luck with whatever you decide. If you come here we will get you checked out if you put in the work. If your picking based on where you want to live id pick Arizona, and I work at STL lol. This place aint no gem...
I don't know anything about the facility or operation at STL. Personally I'd rather live in Arizona than Missouri. But that subject will be different for everyone.
The ops stats do look pretty legit at FFZ.
However, the 3rd worst controller I've ever met pseudo washed out of a 6 up/down then legit washed out of a 7 up/down then certified at Falcon.

Im leaning towards living in AZ, so thinking FFZ will be the spot to pick, hopefully after sometime there i can ERR to Phoenix, but we will see what happens. ATM recommended me for level 9 and below and was told id have 8 and below tower only to pick from.

HOU or DAL would be my picks for an 8 tower only.
If they were below national average they would be on my list as well, but the only 8s that are below Nat Avg is ANC, and STL

There is no ERRing into PHX. If/when they do become eligible under NCEPT they will be one of the most competitive facilities. I’d pick living in AZ over MO but I wouldn’t do it just because you think your chances of getting to PHX will be better.
Based on talking to people who used to work at FFZ you should certify quickly if you can work a busy pattern. The staffing still looks good so you shouldn’t have too much of a problem bidding elsewhere if you choose to do so.
If PHX opened up that would be ideal, but thats not the reason im going there. I do like the lifestyle down there and would be happy living in the PHX area.

Ahhh, you're right.... I had last month's PPT open, but I was looking at 2017 data and never switched to the current page.
MEM, MDW, and PDX are options too.
Where are you seeing MEM. I see them at 91.2% which is above the average
