Hiring Bid Experienced bid: FAA-ATO-18-ATCEXP-56707

[TushingPin]

Just got my list of facilities about an hour ago... 28 possible locations. I will post them up later if anyone is interested.

Everyone is interested

 

[OCHawgy]

Haha you are right Nfingers Here's my list...

Im sure everyone will tell you, but AZO should be upgrading when they consolidate making it a decent choice. I feel like FPR is a hidden gem here. tower only in Florida. Should be a quick checkout and hopefully the ability to move. I've heard Dayton is also a quick checkout and move type of place as well.

Haha you are right Nfingers Here's my list...

FPR is definitely towards the top of my preference. Wife has family around there... will have to strongly consider AZO.

I was gonna be happy as long as it wasn't like bottom 10... so out of 28 assignments I think I fared well for a first facility!

Heading to CID. #16 on my list. If anyone has information on this facility and would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated!

Probably try to find the thread for that facility and ask that question. If someone sees it they’ll reach out or get you in touch with someone. That’s what I did

 

[bsestak]

Anyone ever had success in switching facilities due to extenuating circumstances?

For example, I got CPR but wanted LBB because I have a baby due in less than a month and LBB is an easy move, 7 hours from me. Emailed Charlene to ask about the possibility of being placed there instead.

Not sure about switching facilities, but you can typically push back your start date... at least I was able to.

I have seen people swap facilities but they usually have to have someone else that received a facility on that bid also willing to swap with them. Speaking of which I got JNU anyone want to swap?? Haha

 

[GulfBravoPapa]

In recent years the ATO hasn't really let people swap/change

 

[Cmsgthokage]

When you guys did the ATC experience survey monkey questionnaire and it asked for start of certified date, did you guys put when you got your first rating, 5-level, or RAPC?

 

[MJ]

Facility/area rating
