Type of appointment on TOL says “Expected Appointment NTE 13 Months; full-time, temporary.” Any current controllers or anyone at the academy, does it take 13 months to get through the academy?
Also congrats to everyone out there!
It does not take 13 months to get through the Academy unless you are hit with massive delays. I believe during the height of COVID there may have been a few people that got close to the 13 months, but that’s extremely unlikely at this point. Even with a COVID delay or two, you should be finished within 5-6 months at the max at which time you will either be terminated (if you fail) or offered a permanent position at a facility (if you pass).
Hey everyone, pretty new to this whole process. Whats MMPI? Also, how concerned should I be about my physical? I know I can pass the other requirements without an issue, but I'm a big dude even at 6'1.
Hey really, really dumb question but hoping someone helps me out.
I’m assuming they want us to fill the form out hand-written. Would I just print the form and fill it out with pen, take a picture of it and convert the image to PDF format?

Not typical. Under normal circumstances your temporary employment begins when you get to the academy where you get onboarded into the FAA. The academy is 3 months for terminal and 4 months for enroute.
Now when I went because of covid I was onboarded virtually at home and didnt go to OKC until 6 months later, but I still graduated within that 13 month timeframe. I dont know if they're still doing virtual onboarding or not but you likely dont have to worry about the 13 month thing.

MMPI is the psych eval. Has nothing to do with your health. There is a medical eval that you have to take and pass but it's not very stringent. They do an eyesight test, hearing test, check your blood pressure etc

I’m helpless ?
If you have a smartphone, then go to the app store and download a scanner app. Then, take a pic of the filled-out form and email it to HR. You won't have to convert anything since most apps will give you the option of taking the pic in JPEG or PDF form.

Quick question, has anyone gone to the academy with a friend (same bid)? Is it possible to ask the FAA to give us a similar academy date so that we can take 1 car?
