Their grocery stores must work with them. Maybe work as a bagger for groceries.

Where can you find that information?
@Mc15
Air Traffic Activity System (ATADS)
It doesn't have the zones for the levels but you can get an idea for traffic counts.

On an FAA computer. aap.faa.gov
Click I accept.
Then click on TCIP traffic count.
Then I believe in the menu it shows facilities above the buffer (likely to be upgraded) and below the buffer (likely to be downgraded)

I never have any luck on computers that are normally just unlocked and ready to use all day. I find I have to use my card to log into a computer for this site to work.

Random question but for a paper I am trying to find total flight operations in the U.S. per year... Would that be on there too?
@GulfBravoPapa all airports for 2018 through to 2019.

Awesome thanks! I've have to look up some more years when I am at work!
You can pull up this one at home or on your phone if you need it outside of an FAA computer.

I believe they must be above the buffer for 12 consecutive months for the process to start for uprgrading at CVG. They fell below in recent months to restart that count.

Yes. Must stay below the buffer for a year also, I'm pretty sure. Places that have ANG Units that deploy cause their number to drop drastically then see them pop right back up 6 months later. I don't have any of this in writing, and mostly going by hearsay and gut instinct.

I believe it's 3 months above buffer to go up but 12 months below to go down.
It's 3 months in the green for up and 6 months in the red for down. Once you hit that threshold they will start the validation and audit process. That process has to be completed before you fall back out of the green. Even one month of nongreen can kill your audit.
You can survive (much) more than 6 months in the red under certain circumstances.

Good to know. At a facility currently that's about to start hitting the 9 buffer.
If you're an 8 going up you need to be approaching the 9 floor. If you're a 9 going down then the buffer is what you care about
