It’ll be nice to receive GS11 money over AG pay right out of the academy and I couldn’t agree more with your philosophy either. I’d love to a make it back to Cleveland and work for ZOB but ultimately level 12 is a level 12.
Thanks! This is good info to have
Check out 123atc.com. Lists all the facilities, terminal and enroute sir
Same with this website called pointsixtyfive
Think Chicago, Atlanta and LA type busy that’s a 12. School house typically sends you to a lvl 5-7.
Ok smart ass. Just an easier link to facilities on 123
Just over 4 years, got picked up for a 9 and a 12 within a month of each other.
You have to tell the flight surgeon about any changes in your medical situation. Some over the counter prescriptions can disqualify you too
Up to this point, that's been done indirectly through medical, so would I just email medical? Or do I need to contact a specific flight surgeon directly?
There’s an on call number you can call when your working. There’s also a NATCA number you can call for advice.
Hey I'm a fed employee (wg11) I actually emailed my HR rep about save pay. This is what they said: "With you being a current federal employee your base salary while you are at the academy should be set at grade 1 step 10 which is higher than someone not federally employed. This should be (24,448 Basic + 30.48% Locality = 31,900.00). Once you graduate and we know at which facility you will be placed, your salary will be set up to the max of the D3 level, if your current salary is below that level for that facility then you should retain the pay you are currently making." So basically still a huge pay cut while in OKC but 32k is at least better than the 25k on the tol, then back to my current pay once at a facility until we surpass an equal pay step
I would argue that as much as possible since DoD to FAA is just a transfer within OPM. OPM has a rule that they can keep your current pay
I'm patiently waiting to hear back on my medical. It's been a month already
