Hiring Bid Experienced bid: FAA-ATO-17-ATCEXP-52850

[NOVA]

Yeah. I’ve got SAV number one. I live 35 minutes away right now so that would be insanely convenient. Also am familiar with the airspace because I worked at an adjacent TRACON.

NBC?

 

[Dominipino]

Damn... I have the same top 3 in the same order... Good luck!

Well s***lol that’s not good.

I think they did something a little different this time around. They only generated 3 lists: low-level up/downs, mid-level, and tracons. So depending on what you were qualified for, you got one of the 3.

What’s your experience if you don’t mind me asking?

That would make sense but I know of a guy with 3 cto’s and no approach and he got a list with the 8’s and 9’s on it.... I have 6 CTO’s and an approach and I got all 7’s and below. Just sayin, doesn’t seem to have a rhyme or reason.

That’s not what I’m talking about. Offered facilities are based on the SOP formula, it’s not a mystery. The lists themselves are what are being handled differently.

I’m trying to use this and it said there’s an “Attachment B” with an example of how the formula is used but it wasn’t there. The SOP only showed pages 1-10 out of 11 total so it’s missing the last page.

EDIT: if anyone knows how this is suppose to be done please PM. Thanks

Always the first day of the pay period. Start at next one and go out about 6-8 weeks for the range of dates.

 

[Dominipino]

My HR rep wrote me this making me think it’s not only this week but we could start next pay period if you want to.
