Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-21-ALLSRCE-73599

I don’t know what’s funnier. The people who seem to think they have the entire hiring process figured out after a couple months, or the guy who thinks he deserves a TOL because he graduated summa cum (giggity) laude in college.

im just here so i dont get fined

Hey everyone quick question I’m currently a tso will the process (hypothetically) be more smoother compared to a civilian since I belong to a different agency?

I don't think there's any hard proof of this.. But I was in a different agency prior to this job and my background check was completed much faster than my classmates. YMMV

They posted another open to the public bid. Should I apply even if they haven’t sent out tol’s yet?

It should only be open for experienced controllers….

Understood now! In the email I received, it just said open to the public. However, when you go to the job announcement it states the 52 hours of work needed! Thanks for looking out.

Is it possible to age out during the hiring process before you receive your final offer? I’m currently 28 years old, in 6 months lll be 29. Naturally, I am a bit concerned given my age.

Not if you actually read the bid you applied to.

Thanks, I’ll revisit it again. They pack so much information in there sometimes I just forget with this whole waiting around. I just keep living my life as if I didn’t get it anyways.

The age cut off is the bid date

Aside from basic HR stuff like transitioning stuff over I would assume it’s not gonna be any easier or harder but who knows no one can understand this hiring process…

I also can’t get over the use of “more smoother” ?

Won’t make any difference in the selection process, and you’ll still need to go through the DOT security clearance and FAA medical clearance process like everyone else. Only difference will be if you’re hired, onboarding will be a bit more streamlined since you’ll already be set up with insurance/TSP and whatnot.

Anyone see numbers published or anything regarding how many people applied to this bid, invited to test, etc?

I don't know if this question is a joke or not, but I'm running on minimal sleep and the combination of the username and comment made me laugh really hard so thanks for that lol
