Deviations

What are the rules/guidelines for deviations?

Here is an older order, but keep in mind it is cancelled, that should give you a rough idea.

I might be crazy but I can’t find any attachments?

Ohhh sorry, I should have been more clear. I ment deviations as in moving from a controller position to another job (sup/tmu) when your facility doesn’t have the staffing to let you go

Ah my bad lol.

Seems like management guidance is wait until your facility is a controller or 2 away from being to release, then approve 2-3 deviations. Then repeat every 6 months to a year so that anyone trying to move anywhere from NCEPT will never be able to move.

It's in reference to deviating from the National Release Policy (NRP).

From Section 12, C.
Extensions beyond the timeframes identified above or other deviations from the National Release Policy for facilities that do not meet the criteria for Category 1 or 2 require approval of the Office of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Air Traffic Organization (ATO). Decisions of the COO office are not subject to review, however, the COO office will notify the Union at the National Level in advance of issuing the decision to the affected facility and/or employee.

I wish this was sarcasm. This is literally what they do

Do they issue a TOL before filing for a deviation? To make sure the individual is still interested in taking the position?

No, they file a deviation and the selected candidate only finds out if the deviation is approved. If not, the job is rebid or they select another candidate who doesn’t require a deviation. There is no merit based promotion system in the FAA. They will hide behind “Agency need” until they get sued.

Sue them
