Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-19-ALLSRCE-61676

[GulfBravoPapa]

Let me use this as a example as it seems it’s confusing to some. The Bid comes out 1/1/2020. 1/1/2020 I’m 30 years old and I turn 31 on 1/2/2020 and I apply on 1/1/2020 then I’m eligible. I’m in 31 on 1/1/2020 I’m not eligible. Make sense?

This is incorrect. What Stevo62 said is correct. For the past few years everything has been based off of your age when the bid closes. If the hid comes out on 1/1/2020 and closes on 1/8/2020 and you turn 31 on 1/2/2020 you are no longer eligible no matter when you apply because when the bid closes you are over the age limit.

So, last year I received my ATSA invite about 64 days after the bid closed. We're now at about that same point now. So... any day now.

I want to share my story and would like to know the odds of getting picked to test. I am 20 years old currently in 2nd year of college. Following the same path my father did which was a bachelor degree in aeronautical science. (Pliot degree) he graduated out of embry riddle and got picked up by the FAA he worked 28 years in flight service and loved his job. I qualify by having work experience and college combined. The work experience i would most definitely consider responsible. I work part time in a pharmacy as a tech and aid the pharmacist dispensing medication and help patients with numerous problems. I do plan on getting my degree even if i get picked up.

The kindest answer you’ll get on here is there is no numerical value that anybody from here can put on your odds. If it doesn’t work out this time, keep trying. You’ve got plenty of time.

I know people who've gotten hired who were servers at restaurants, so I'm sure your work is fine. Make sure you are using the usajobs resume builder and fill it out completely. Other than that it's just luck of the draw for the most part.

I cleaned up dog shit for one year, JetBlue one year and had almost my associates degree finished when they referred my application last bid. I don’t think they care as long as you put 3 years in somewhere, associates degree, or a little of both.

For the 2nd+ year applicants:
Do the ATSA emails come in waves or is it like a unknown hour of a unknown day hits and everyone receives their email at the same time?

All at once!

They came in 2 waves. I got mine the second wave.

The email will say “status changed to not hired”.

Eh, already happened once, what harm does a second time do!

Makes you want to jump off a bridge for the second time lol.

Whats up with aviator going down on the 29th for an hour? Anything to do with us?

It’s all relative. I have a good job so it’s not too big of a bummer for me at least.

Yes, this job would be a step up from my current job, and a big life change which I think I need, but I also understand that processes are in place and I can’t control how/who they pick so....

I get to go round this merry go round for at least another 2 or 3 years if I want to, turning 28 next month.


As far as aviator, IIRC it just goes down for updates a few times a year. 99.9% it’s nothing to do with anything job related.

Anyone get an email yet?

Anyone get an email yet?

Pretty sure the second someone gets a email from the FAA in regards to the bid, there will be a flood of people posting on this thread. Happens every year! Dead thread for like 2 months and then active for a year.

When people start getting ATSA invites it's like the scene from End Game where they all start walking through the Dr. Strange portals like where tf did y'all come from.

 

[Cyclosporum_]

I would prob say 2 weeks or less untill we start getting invites for testing.
