Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-20-ATCEXP-66595

[jkkfairley]

Mine said not hired. Was interested to see if anyone elses did, or if I got weeded out because of past experience.

Did you already get your TOL?

Furloughed

Did you previously receive a TOL

Mine updated to not hired as well. Hopefully the next bid isn’t too far away. Good luck on the next one as well.

Had you received a TOL prior to the status change?

this wait for the MMPI is a true test of patience.

Definitely. I'm working at at contract tower in the meantime and it sucks. I just got an email for a drug test though. So things are still inching forward.

Apologies if this has already been covered before: Do people from prior experience bids ever get picked up at centers? Would it be possible if there were people at that facility actively trying to get you?

It's happened in the past, but those people had center experience or something close to it. Typically now it won't happen.

Is there not a minimum separation time for the prior experience bids? I always thought there was but when I look at the job posting on usajobs I'm not seeing it.

So a FAA CPC could work as normal, then when they see a prior experience bid, quit and immediately apply? (E.g. in hopes of getting a better duty station.)

You can apply immediately, but if you get a job within a year of leaving the FAA, they'll only give you your previous facility.

The year restriction only applies to the rehire path. It has nothing to do with public bids.

Onboarding team HR told me they'll hire you back to your prior facility is you apply on a bid before your year is up.

Seeking further clarification on separation requirements...

For rehire/CPC reinstatement, it seems clear that the requirement is 1 year out of the agency to be considered for a different facility.

For a prior experience bid, it sounds like it's also 1 year if you want to go somewhere new. Does that also mean out of the agency or just out of controlling?

Im assuming most of us are in limbo right now waiting on the MMPI. Any thoughts on if they'll waive that to keep the process moving? Seems like they'll never get this bid finished

While I would love that, they have no incentive to do that at the moment considering training is halted anyway.

Out of the FAA. I transferred to the DoD, still clocking federal ATC time for my pension, and transferred back and I'm getting my #2 choice in facility.

Ummm 100% no.

After getting the thumbs up from the ATM how long did it take for you to receive your TOL?
