Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-20-ALLSRCE-65607

For anyone who has started online

Do you remember how long the first day is? From what I understand it’s just processing and HR stuff, so I’m wondering if it is still a full 8 hour day or if it’s shorter than that.

Oh yeah, they don’t let you go early ever. We’re 9-5:30 and the earliest they can let us go is 5:25 lol

Does anyone know where I can find out how many people applied for this bid?

There was a post many pages back that listed the numbers. I want to say it was around 12k but I have no idea to be honest.

There were 8,336 applicants according to an earlier post in this thread. Of them, 7,391 were qualified to test.

Usually this time of the month, they start calling individuals for class dates. Fingers crossed.

I'm not holding my breath...

Do we get to keep it or will it eventually be returned?

You will probably keep it until you CPC. That's how it worked for my class. To be honest, most of us just used out computers to Zoom into class. I only used my iPad to access Huddle. You won't use it when you get to the actual in- person stuff. But your facility will most likely use it for Huddle.

Update: "We expect to be able to fill the September class seats at the end of this week, or beginning of next week. We hope to have the new class listings for October and later classes available in August." -HR Rep.

Setting my expectations low and assuming I'll be in the "and later" category.

Since you cleared in early April, most likely.

Yeah, that is just when I was informed of my clearance though. It's possible I was cleared as early as 3/9/2021, but I doubt it.

Ask your HR Rep for your date of full clearance.

You act like there is rhyme or reason on how they fill classes

Is it not *generally* in the order in which your clearances were received?

I have emailed my rep probably 5 or 6 times since being informed of my clearance and have not received any response.

I don't but thanks for the observation. Going off by what my HR rep says, that's all.

Thread has been dead since Tuesday. Seems like many people such as myself are starting to get discouraged.

I'm closely monitoring this thread, waiting for applicants to post that they received their class dates for Sept.
