Did she say when these calls were supposed to start going out?

 

[BravoMike]

Wow, seems like they're kind of putting us on the spot then as far as report dates

 

[Dominipino]

If they go alphabetically I’ll hear something by next Friday....or the following Tuesday because f*** Monday’s right!

How you figure?

Well. My buddy got a call a few weeks ago and they offered him N90 or get bent. I think I'm okay with the current situation. Haha.

 

[RC]

I called back to double check...Idk with these people I kind of feel like they try to tell us whatever they think we might wanna hear or something nuetral all the time...lady confirmed yes the sharlene lady is the only one making the calls...she also told me no it is not in alphabetical order...some people should be hearing something by today

I’d love to meet the person who thinks that calling everyone is the most logical way to do this.

Haha, fair enough. I guess I should be more concerned about not missing the call when it comes

 

[A1T2C3]

By the way. Who are you calling @RC? I called Pam and she was actually useless in terms of information.

 

[RC]

No ish right?! I’d rather them copy and paste some template and change the info and send it to me through my email then wait like this...it’s too important for everyone to wait on one person to get to them among the 90 others

I was in the batch that got the N90 call. It was a yes or no. If you said no they told us to expect lists later on (Here we are). It wasn't really a get bent situation. To put it best, I heard it called a "gut punch".

By the way. Who are you calling @RC? I called Pam and she was actually useless in terms of information.

Just the standard aviation careers number...the lady said that she might’ve been able to give me my location if the info was logged in but I guess they haven’t done that step yet?!

Hmm. I think his situation was a bit different. He may have been offered like 2 other TRACONs, but it was a phone call and he said he didn't expect another list. He didn't get one this round so I don't know. Maybe he was being a drama queen.

 

[Dominipino]

I just got a call from an unknown number. It was a telemarketer. Yeah.

Lol...bummer...I inquired and it should be an okc number 405...I had to ask cause I dodge those telemarketers too and pretty much any number I don’t know lol
