That's dope. Hopefully I get through I need me some of that enroute salary

I'm also hoping for enroute if I get in, but mostly just so I can stay in a large city.

My wife took hers yesterday in Bellevue, WA. I wonder if they're going to wait until everyone finished the test before they tell people their results. Because it's sounding like some people could get pushed back a few months.

Nah people in the last bid had their test results back while some didn't even take the test yet

They wait for the testing window to close and I believe last bid it was 15+ days after the window closed that results were released in what seemed to be alphabetical waves. Since this testing window closes on June 14, I wouldn't expect anything before June 29 and wouldn't be surprised if the score release was delayed to late July.

Like Oberlin or Longmont?

I'm also hoping for en route for the same reason, plus a few other reasons. I have a list ranked out depending on what facilities are on the placement list at Academy Graduation for me to pick from but first is the my home area, in Hilliard, which I highly doubt I'll get anyway being it's a desired facility.

Ooo what about Leesburg?

Hey all. I'm in SLC and was scheduled to take it tomorrow...received an email this afternoon saying it was canceled, no explanation. Called Customer Service and all they had to say was either wait til after 6/14 to take the test or go down to Las Vegas. Any advice as to wait it out and take it again in 3 weeks? Or reschedule for something sooner in Las Vegas?

EDIT: I guess it'd be more than 3 weeks...no testing slots available in SLC til after this testing window.

Wow really? So they have computer issues then they decide to cancel the tests completely? To be quite honest, while the facilitator was a nice man, he did not know how to give the ATSA test, apparently the guy who did them before quit on them so it took us (the testing people from yesterday), 2 hours just to get into the lab and then the javascript issue happened. They probably canceled the testing window completely because the facilitator is having too many issues. I had to reschedule mine in Oregon. Las vegas windows are closed btw, you won't get in there. Closest is Denver, 8 hour drive.

I am From LA and took the test in Vegas. There were less than 5 ppl took the exams with me, had a java script error, assistant fixed the problem. Now anxiously waiting for test result

Only 3 people in my wife's test including her. So it seems like they're social distancing everyone by having only a few spots open everyday and closing down a lot of their facilities. I took my ATSA last year a lot closer to home but it seems like most of the centers are closed. So with these measures in place it seems like there are barely enough slots for everyone.

i wonder if thats a good thing or bad thing for us? less competition this year or....maybe theyre not selecting as many?

Just took the test. Supposed to be four of us total but only me and one other showed up. If you’re missing half an arm and reading this, good luck man!

Feeing pretty good about the test, wish I did better on the collisions though.

Anything besides Alaska wouldn’t be too bad,? but I’m hoping for Aurora.

Just took the ATSA today in Tampa. There were 5 individuals there. Its not really hard. I would say challenging but not ass kicking like some people make it out to be.

Yep looking to reschedule for Denver now...when do you take your test in Oregon?

Second week of June. Hopefully they won't have issues this time around. Good luck in Denver!

You do know most enroute centers are located about an hour from large cities. Was plannned that way when they built them

Most are 30-45 minutes. But it’s a LOT better then the hours for some terminal. Also there are a couple that are even closer to the city or at least they are in a nice suburb.

Took ATSA yesterday I was the only person there taking it at my location, had to repeat the first 2 sections since it crashed on me.

Lots of crashing this year.... Took mine friday too, was alone but they said they had 4 that week. My only "glitch" was when I clicked submit at the end, it took almost 4 minutes to actually submit and load the complete screen

Took the test on Saturday in Chicago and the other guy in the had a mental breakdown during the collision/math portion. We also had to call tech support because we weren’t sure if the test saved because it was so glitchy.

On my second attempt, I focused on solving the collisions first. I made that the priority, then I solved the math problems
