If you get a TOL, does it include your selection for enroute or terminal? Or does that not happen until later?

It won’t be included in the TOL, typically they will let you know when you are offered a class date.

Thanks for the heads up! Had a friend that went through in 2016 and he said his placement was on the TOL. He didn't know if it was still the same so he suggested I ask here

I bet this chat will come alive again when TOL's roll in. Haha

When I haven’t checked in a few days and there’s 10 new pages, yeah…it’s going down.

I feel you man. This wait is surely not easy. I feel waiting is more difficult than taking the test again ?

This is my second bid I applied to. 2020 Bid was more brutal because I didn't end up taking a test until the second wave. Testing facilities got shut down and I wasn't able to test earlier due to COVID. With that being said, the timeline seems very similar. One week after testing we got our scores and a month after people got TOL's. If everything stays the same we should hear something in 2 to 3 weeks but don't quote me on that.

Thanks for the reassurance. I’m so ready for a change in my life. I don’t mind the job I’m in, I just don’t feel challenged.

Thanks for your service, man.
That’s a hell of a route to go- lots of my friends served, a few are lifers. Most have a pretty good attitude. Some just learned how to drink. It hits everyone different.
My best friend just came back from an army gig in the Netherlands- he had plenty of stories of his travels, being worldly gives a great perspective.

And yeah, I don’t put stock much stock in what other people think of me unless they’re signing my paycheck/inspection. Especially people who don’t know me- let alone themselves. Like- if me listing my background to give a backdrop for a question chaps asses that much- it’s more of a statement on the ass being chapped. I understand this is a competitive field, but it’s no need to get emotional.

Either way- I went through a dispatch licensing course too! Because of some red tape that would require a name change (had to drop the “jr” because my PPL and SS didn’t have it, but my Birth certificate and drivers license did), my instructor refused to sign off so I could take my Checkride.

At any rate- I’ll keep plugging along. It’s what I do. If I got a Q without prepware, I can’t imagine what grade I’ll get NEXT round ?

We don't need someone with your attitude getting in lol

I’m picturing him in a tower mentioning summa cum laude and being hit with every phallic joke like Batman beating a homeless man for stealing $5

In my best narration voice possible "little did these young candidates know what trials and tribulations were to follow the ball. So we watch as they stumble forth on this long windy amd ever changing path of talking to planes"

That’s ok I’m pretty used to hurry up and wait. I like to think of it as a specialty skill. Haha.

Just thought of another question. So they'll offer you high level enroute centers but for tower it's level 7 and below?

For terminal, yes. It will typically be a level 7 and below. I’ve also seen facility lists with a level 8 before, but those aren’t common at all.

 

[Momo]

well that is contradicting and defeats the purpose of not wanting to start you off at busy facilities!
