So I've been offered a position at a contract tower half way across the country and after waiting for 15 months for the FAA I am considering taking the position. If the FAA were to tell me Id have an answer in 3 months or 6 months Id wait for that answer but the FAA just baits you along for 1 month at a time and you basically know with a Tier 2 that you are going to be waiting between 3 months to 3 years.....MAYBE. So I don't wanna move half way across the country and be offered a position by the FAA a week later and move half way across the country again.
So after completion of the Tier 2 I will be required to complete another drug test and then have a FOL as far as I know... Does anyone have insight on how long one can drag out that process so I can at least spend a year at this contract facility before moving again?
The FAA wants you to sit around and rot for YEARS for a position and hop to ready to go when they offer a FOL it would seem. So i'm curious if anyone has had any luck making the FAA wait.
