Seriously. All pretty sought after facilities, or at least places that release on ncept every now and then

Anybody see a list for may 5 class?

Except maybe ZKC. Cost of living is cheap but ERR and hardships out seem high.

Yeah but the work there is cake. Hello and goodbye all day across your 450nm sector.

Must be an easy center to check out in. I could see the appeal then.

They have two Atlanta, two LA, Memphis, salt lake ( that's all I could remember from talking to Somme from that class)

My dream is ZTL that would be perfect for me ?

Imagine the facility you would least enjoy being assigned to. That’s probably where you’ll end up and be trapped for the next several decades with how things currently are.

Or just do well at the academy and pass high in your class, you might not get your dream facility but at least you have a choice.

dumb question but seeing ZBW on the bottom of the list does that mean it comes off if one person fails?

Guess they don’t need people THAT desperately in ZJX, I expected there to be an influx of ZJX on the new lists.

If they need people desperately, an academy grad isn’t generally going to be the quickest to checkout.

Generally, an err from another center is the fastest, followed by a prior experienced center controller, prolly followed by a higher level tracon controller.

The exception being if those other people are getting long release dates or they suck and the academy graduate is decent.

I have seen an academy grad beat a previous center cpc to checkout. Unbelievable I would have previously thought, but there are those people in the NAS…

I can see an AG beating a CPC-IT. Why would the CPC-IT be in ANY rush to certify? They’re making 120k+ a year to sit around and do nothing while the AG is making 50k a year.
