Anyone have any real way of knowing how you get chosen to study Enroute or Terminal ?
I don't think anyone really knows, and if they did know how it went last time it may have changed for this time.
One thing I've heard that sounded plausible (and IIRC came from someone on this site who usually knows what they're talking about) is they make a big list in alphabetical order and alternate down the list T, E, T, E until they run out of terminal slots and then everyone after that is enroute. That was a while ago though, back when you got your T/E assignment with the TOL. Now you get the assignment with your FOL. When I went through a couple years ago I was hearing they put you in the next open class as soon as all your clearances came back, so whichever class was available first determined the assignment.
