Hiring Bid FAA-FAA-24-PUB NOT-87164 (Prior Exp Rolling Bid)

[Lessmanreid]

Unless they send me another email this is all I got.

Anyone know anything about these:
so far I'd say my preferences are in no particular order:
DSM
ILM
MAF
CAE
Or hidden gems on my list? I want a tower with approach.

I know someone that used to work at DSM if you need more information, and I know someone that is currently at ILM. Avoid MAF

Yep check the MMPI Tier 2 thread. Settle in, it'll be about a year and a half.

RNO is getting upgraded to a 6 fyi

Is that before or after they kicked out the Air Races?

After. Traffic has been above level 6 TCI minimum since December. Air Races was in September. NVT is in the process of validating.

That's the point. Reno kicked the race out - last year was the last one.

Yeah. Traffic is up by around 1000 ops each month compared to the previous year. Has nothing to do with air races. That just sped up the process.

You work at RNO? We are about to cross the line from a 7 to a 8 at my facility. How’s the process for upgrading going? Pretty automatic or have to jump on management to actually keep the process going? We are all worried here because our ATM is almost retired and doesn’t want to deal with the paperwork.

I appreciate it, didnt see this until now, but I got ILM! So I'm pumped for that.

Just left Reno a few weeks ago. Our management also wants the upgrade so from my understanding they’ve been trying to help with the process. The big thing they were harping on before I left is to make sure you are accurately tracking VFR ops for each hour. The NVT was convening in June for the upgrade but honestly I don’t know more than that since our rep/manager were dealing with most of it.

How long after you accept your TOL did it take to get the follow up with everything else you have to do?

Join the ATC discord, people post their timelines. Personally took me 5 months after applying to get my FOL.

 

[LY86579]

Depends

How long after you accept your TOL did it take to get the follow up with everything else you have to do?

think it depends on availability date. I applied Nov got my tol in Jan then got the next step about 2 weeks later. I have friends who got a TOL the same day I did, but haven't received anything else yet. Their availability was further out.

Don’t quit the FAA folks this is my laughable list…
