If a spouse doesn't pass does their slot become available to the rest of the class or does it just automatically drop off the list?
Drops offIf a spouse doesn't pass does their slot become available to the rest of the class or does it just automatically drop off the list?
Their slot is never on the list. We had 11/16 pass. 1 girl was guaranteed ZTL (marriage) and another dude ZNY. We had 9 spots out of 14 to choose from. Their slot had nothing to do with our list.If a spouse doesn't pass does their slot become available to the rest of the class or does it just automatically drop off the list?
Indeed...I stand corrected....I checked with leads today and they did indeed change to what you describe.....just shows you how fast things change....but the spousal thing kind of caught me by surprise, been prowling the halls of the academy for years, and never heard that from a student...and then BAM.....2 students in the same week clued me in......its probably been happening, as you say, but it surprised a few of the Row instructors, just never hear it I guessBeginning in May of 2018, every slot became mandatory. If 13 students pass, there's 13 slots to choose from.
The spouse placements are nothing new, they've been happening for a few years now at least.
If you get a facility assignment you keep it private so the whole Class doesn’t hate youIndeed...I stand corrected....I checked with leads today and they did indeed change to what you describe.....just shows you how fast things change....but the spousal thing kind of caught me by surprise, been prowling the halls of the academy for years, and never heard that from a student...and then BAM.....2 students in the same week clued me in......its probably been happening, as you say, but it surprised a few of the Row instructors, just never hear it I guess
It's marked on the list. Also obvious when there's less slots than students. and one student doesn't care about placement.If you get a facility assignment you keep it private so the whole Class doesn’t hate you
15/17 today, unsure of list.
The enroute placement list will tell you exactly which facilities are going to be given to graduates. It changes frequently but it’s useful to see which are more common.Any way to gauge which locations will be taking on more/less academy graduates over the next couple of months?
Also, what are traditionally the popular locations that graduates tend to choose (or hope for)?
Our two week refresher after the shutdown was purely classroom - radar academics - no lab. Our list is 3 ZTL, 3 ZID, 3 ZSE, 2 ZOA, ZLA, ZJX, ZBW, and ZAU.
It really depends who wants to go where. The class before the two ZBW were picked 2nd and 3rd to last while ZOA was picked 3rd.That’s a nice list, I’d be curious on the order... I’d bet ZOA went near last, and ZBW went near first....
Not everyone wants to live on the east coast. I personally would be all over that Seattle if that was my list. And after that ZLAThat’s a nice list, I’d be curious on the order... I’d bet ZOA went near last, and ZBW went near first....
On hold till 6/11The ZNY training hold was due to be lifted I believe this month, anyone know if that happened or if it's still gonna be on hold for the next while?
Uh ohOn hold till 6/11
9/12 4 ZFW, 3 ZOA, 1 ZKC, 1 ZMPAnyone have the class pass % and the facilities offered to the class that selected today?
