TY Yaz, are you also in the process for the OTS bid as well?
Why?Yeah I am, I don’t think I will be taking the
AT-SA for that one. I’m a terminal controller already I don’t want to go to OKC for that, I want to learn TRACON.
Why what?Why?
Why do you want to learn TRACON? What would be the main difference from what you do now?Why what?
Tracon has no windows.Why do you want to learn TRACON? What would be the main difference from what you do now?
So money?Tracon has no windows.
Terminal is tower, you control mostly on a visual basis. TRACON is radar just a different type of ATC and yes there is a pay difference.
There are people who took it after the 23rd so I don’t believe that that would be the reason. The testing window was open until Sept. 13. I’m also still in “Received” status although I have the same message as everyone else. But judging by all the other posts on here don’t give up until you get a definite answer one way or the other! Apparently there’s no rhyme or reason to the way the FAA does things, and if there is it’s not something the “public” would know about or understand.yes, I don’t have it. my application still says it’s received not changed to referred or anything like that. I took my ATSA very late on Aug 23rd, that could be why. To be honest I’m pretty damn sure I failed that test. It has absolutely nothing to do with ATC at all.
I was one of the ~800 qualified (based off location) out of the ~1400 that applied. I was surprised about how many didn't read the application in it's entirety or just hit the apply button anyway.
My buddy's (no vet bonus) account is the same as ours.
Can you verify these #s??
Historically, a good amount of applicants don’t pass the ATSA or do & don’t receive a TOL. Going off your #s, a safe guess is that at this point ~500 people got the update we got.
IMO everything is moving along as planned, we are an extremely small group of people considering the population within 50mi of Westbury. Even more so we are the obsessive few who would take the time to register & post to a forum dedicated to a job we are likely not to know the first (practical) thing about for at least another 8 mo. Is it a bad sign we are all receiving the same feedback?
Idt we will ever know how the ATSA is graded. Wouldn’t read into your friends situation too much. Also, my buddy has only applied to this bid (N90). I have no idea what the numbers are & no one has received a TOL tmk.True. I agree to that, and I hope you're right. Part of my skepticism comes from my friend who didn't prepare at all and said he felt like he bombed it also got the message too. There's always the chance he just passed, but i just assumed if there was anyone who didn't get it, it would be him lol.
Oh also, have any idea how many people actually got TOLs out of those referred from your buddy's bid?
