Hey so if my basics date is 5-3 and my projected academy dates are 6-7 to 7-28. Anyone know what you do while waiting to go to the academy? Get paid to wait?

This has honestly been moving so fast for me this month that it just came out of no where! Truly grateful, thankful and appreciative for my assigned HR rep and Security/Medical reps. Showing up in person at an airport tower yesterday after work for my MMPI was such an awesome experience that it felt as if I was already an Air Traffic Controller. If what people are saying is true regarding class dates being around May/June, well then I’m ready! ?

Nicely done!! Who is your rep?

Wow, so fast! Meanwhile i gave KH and have only a confirmation email on 2/7/2022

DF. She’s awesome!! ?? Always quick to respond on any issues.

You are in Basics until you go to the Academy. There is no gap in between other than travel days

Thanks, the projected dates just had me confused

Isn't it a projected start and finish date?

That’s all I’ve gotten as well. So bizarre to me but others have said the timing makes no sense so I’ll sit on my hands, tempted as I am to reach out

It says “start date may 3rd 2022” “Projected in-person Academy dates: June 7, 2022 – July 28, 2022”

Go to the FAA course catalog page. Usually there's about a week gap between your basics end date and the start date of your in person academy training. So you'll have the initial tower course that starts 6/7 and ends 7/28

Congrats!

Btw, if you don’t mind me asking, when did you do your medical, and when did you get medically cleared?

Also, what region is your flight surgeon in?

I’m just tryna figure out an estimate timeframe as to how long the medical clearance process takes since I’m all done and just waiting on them.

I know a few of the others who’ve also gotten class dates are in the Great Lakes region, so it seems like the flight surgeon there isn’t as backed up.

May 16th start date here also EnRoute ??

Congratulations to everyone getting FOLs. To the rest of us, hang in there!

Seems like most of us are waiting on EODS… at least I am still waiting for that… anyone else in the same boat?
