Has anyone resigned from FAA and gotten rehired?

[Fly747]

Just curious. I was still a trainee (on probation) when I resigned. Do I stand a chance at getting rehired OTS?

 

[MJ]

yes

Former CPC here. I just resigned in June, and applied to the OTS bid. I’ll also be pursuing the direct hire once my six months and a day of separation pass. I’ll keep you guys posted.

 

[Hotvedt]

I am currently in the hiring process after resigning in 2013. I'm in the prior experience bid from this march.

Do you mind saying where you were CPCs at when you resigned and why you chose that route?

 

[James]

I have also wondered, if you do resign and get rehired, what percentage do you pay toward your retirement? Your original rate or the current rate?

Depends if there’s a break in federal service

CPC at level 12, one of the 90s. Personal reason. The agency did not want to accommodate so I did it myself and resigned.

Are you expecting to get back to a high level facility, or anticipating the 7 and lower restriction to apply to your hiring?

There is no restriction for him.

I resigned from the FAA during the academy and was rehired 3 years later off the 2017 OTS bid. I was 34 when I reapplied also. Don't lose hope.

Are you military with prior atc experience?

Are you military with prior atc experience?

The age 31 cutoff is only for original appointment. If hired before 31 and you quit you can be rehired

Negative.

What happens if you fail academy and you turn 31, can you still get rehired?

 

[Hotvedt]

Similar to odotsal. Except at a lvl 6 in the middle of nowhere. FAA couldn’t help me, so I resigned.

This might be a dumb question, but who did you see about resigning? Who did you give your letter to?

Don't overthink it.. tell the ATM you're quitting. Put it in a memo if you want to be all formal.

I think she meant while at the academy. And to clarify the second part, the atm requires a letter of resignation with your signature.
