Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-21-ALLSRCE-73599

[mj123]

I was offered a start date of 3/3. I asked for a deferral. I wasn't told to look out for any general timeline after that. It seems like others were given an estimation, but my HR rep doesn't like to give those. She also made it sound like she doesn't know when the remaining classes are either... even though the schedule catalog is already out? She just kept saying "when a class is available I will let you know." every HR rep is different

when you asked for a deferral did you have to provide a reason why like finishing your degree or something?

did you guys ask for an estimate class date or did they just provide you with one when they notified that you were fully cleared

I'm from 2020 and it's an estimate. I was told sometime around June about 3 weeks ago. They can only send out FOLs 45-60 days in advance according to my HR rep

Damn, so you have 60 days at the most? Fast.

I'm surprised people are getting emails notifying them of being fully cleared and class estimates. I thought it'd be radio silence until FOL or you get tier-2'd.

2021 bid seems to be moving way faster than 2020 bid. I assume covid was the cause for their delay

So let me get this straight, basics is completely online now? Meaning you don't have to travel anywhere for that?

Correct. Completed over Zoom with tests administered via Blackboard.

My security POC said she was able to grant me a waiver.

What's a waiver? Is that a conditional security clearance?

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! ?
