El Paso, Fort Smith, South Bend, Burbank and Buffalo

Aspen sounds nice if there was a rent market anywhere near there. I wouldn’t mind Buffalo at all but I have never been north of Tennessee before.
My facility is a little over 2 hours away from Buffalo. I like the area but be prepared for a lot of snow in the winter if you get it

I have never lived anywhere like that. Sounds cold. Lol. Southern boy but I love hockey so I’m ok with that.

I’m a southerner also. Mississippi born and raised. I was at a contract tower in Oregon before coming here so I was a little prepared for the winter weather
 
SOOOOO there is another EXP bid out now for 3 days ............
They’re going to have to hire mass amounts at some point. A huge portion of certified federal controllers are eligible for retirement or close to it. Those that have been holding down the fort are going to retire eventually.
 
I believe PIA is #2 in the placement (hence them having two openings) I'd say you got a pretty decent shot at getting it
I was thinking that since the list is alphabetical it said P50 in that spot, they just didn’t know how to delete it and just put PIA twice.
 
A guy on the USAF ATC page got the same list as these guys + P50. Pretty random.
I don’t think it’s random. I’m guessing they send out the list to as many people as there are facilities on the list, and these guys all get sent to one of those spots. Ex. 10 facilities on a list - list gets sent to 10 people and based on their rankings, they get offered a facility.

That’s not entirely true because XYZ facility could pick up 2, 3, 4 people hypothetically. Seen it in previous bids. It’s not strictly a 1 for 1.

I just meant that P50 pops up is random considering the rest of the facilities on the list. Not how the list is generated or anything.
 
How long does it take for them to come back with your placement?
I haven’t gotten my list yet, just wanna see what’ll roll over onto the next round of lists.

AC told me you will be notified the following week on your selection.
