Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-19-ALLSRCE-61676

[Kevl9987]

In last year's hiring bid, they had the same discussion. If they find out, you're canned. If you put it on your form and say you won't touch it again, that's what they want to hear and you'll be okay.

Thank you for the information.

I accepted my TOL on 11/16, though have not received a confirmation email, eods, or cil. I know it’s only been a couple days and over a weekend, but just curious if others received theirs today?

I did the same exact thing. I accepted the TOL and sent in my paperwork on 11/16 and still have not received a conformation email, EODS, or anything. My last name is S.

Did you ever get a response to you accepting your TOL? And did you also get an email for the EODS and CIL before they sent you that email this morning? I'm in pool 2 but I'm not sure how to feel about all this. Hopefully you can hear some better news soon!

Yes, I got a response saying my acceptance has been received, but I never got the paperwork for the next steps.

I received a confirmation email. I'm sure they will get to you soon though. EODS will probably start going out late this week or next week judging by other people's TOL process assuming there is no government shutdown. Who is your rep?

Does the confirmation e-mail come from your rep or from the generic faa e-mail address?

Should I be concerned if I never got a confirmation email and sent the TOL acceptance Sunday? Wondering if I should have replied to the same email the TOL came in instead of composing a new email to accept

Everybody needs to relax. Read the email they sent to you.

I made a new email. It's all the same address. You'll be fine!

I noticed this on per diem pay when I looked at the academy FAQ section here:

Per diem is an extra, untaxed pay to account for government related travel. The 2019 rate $95.60/day: $57 for housing, $38.60 M&IE.
For new hires: As of 1 June 2019, housing per diem will be paid directly to the housing provider. You do not have the option to keep it

Does this mean we absolutely have to use it all on housing with no way of keeping any of it?

Correct, they changed that earlier this year I believe. For the $57 part

They pay your housing direct to landlord. You get discretionary food and what not

 

[Yukatan]

I feel like that almost encourages you to want to splurge a bit on housing as long as your per diem can cover it as you wouldn't be able to keep any of it anyway. The thought of having roommates so everyone can pocket some of the per diem also goes out the window.

Just got confirmation. Sent late Friday night. Waiting on CIL.

To try and get ahead of the game I have begun compiling a spreadsheet of my residences and employment history. I just browsed an example of the background check form and its a beast (127 pages).

It’s not that bad.

It's a long form but for someone like me who has lived at only one address all my life, and never been in trouble with the law, and only had 2 jobs, I could probably skip a bunch of pages as I would not have any information to put on them. Probably would be pretty quick for me to fill out.

Sent TOL in 11/16 in the AM, just got the confirmation now at 3 PM.
Awaiting CIL, spoke with my rep and they said the CIL would roll out slower to not overwhelm the process.
