GEG, LEX, ABQ, and PSC all have great people to work with.

 

[Hotvedt]

Do you pick your top 5? Or just the ones you are willing to take?

 

[Mr. Mack]

I think you rank them all 1- however many is on your list

I submitted my rankings already thru the surveymonkey website link they sent shortly after receiving the list. The survey had me rank every single one of the facilities 1-31.

I've been trying to use the placement list to gauge where I may go... thinking they typically make facility lists from the top of the list right? Wrong. These lists that people are posting have offers that are spread throughout the placement list.

There's always a few outliers, but it mostly follows the placement list. That's literally what it's for.

What was your prior experience Fiore?

FAA 5/6's - one of which was up/down.

There's always a few outliers, but it mostly follows the placement list. That's literally what it's for.

Is priority placement supposed to be based off the national slot numbers? Most look like top few hundred, but there are more than expected outliers (Reference JC2H's list).

ACT – 214, ALB – 350, AVP – 104, BFI – 1,244, BFL - 43, BTR – 1,689, BTV – 1,436, CAK – 274, CMA – 294, FAR – 231, FAT – 254, FFZ – 320, FSM - 66, FTW – 1,915, GPT – 208, GRR - 24, GSO - 60, HPN – 952, HWD – 860, LBB – 349, LEX – 512, MAF – 120, MSN – 137, PSC – 270, ROA – 284, SBA – 1,303, SBN – 115, SHV – 168, SYR – 154, TUS – 406, TYS – 1,101

FYI: placement cycle is monthly now

Filter it to 6-7 unassigned slots. You'll see it match closely

 

[JC2H]

I’m unfamiliar with how to read that priority placement list. Lower number=higher demand for staffing?

its just an ordered list of vacancies to be filled

 

[JC2H]

its just an ordered list of vacancies to be filled

So ACT-214 has higher demand/vacancies than TYS-1101?

The TYS area is awesome. I've also heard really good things about LEX. Ultimately it's up to you and what your career goals are.

FSM has a really great working environment. Typically work 1 hour on position and 1 hour breaks. Training-wise, you will usually get at least 2 hours of training a day. Almost everyone at work is great, and the younger crowd typically hangs out at least once a week outside of work.

TV with HBO and NFL RedZone etc. in the break room, and another TV with a PS4 in another room. People bring their own PS4s as well and have a Fortnite squad going.
