Why would you put yourself through that lmao

Same reason why I joined the USMC.

Cause I ain’t no pussy

Has there been any substantial change or a plan to change the amount of people graduating the academy? The implementation of CRWG numbers is completely pointless if the output of new trainees doesn't change.

It’s not pointless it’s to end transfer so the numbers of CPCs slowly grows as there are no CPCITs left and they can say their staffing plan is working.

They were supposed to have D10 on the last panel. I put in for it and would have taken it.

My supe had one of those district telecons and they mentioned it. A source that works at D10 also told me the same

 

[FlightOfTheShortGuy]

I just want to know if the rumors of additional priority MOUs for this panel are real. Thats about my only prayer of ever getting to leave...

The priority MOU means they just speed up your release date if you’re selected right? Or was it higher priority to get selected? I can’t remember.

Facilities under a priority mou don’t follow the normal release rules. You can be released to that priority facility even if your current facility is below the releasable staffing level threshold.

When can I expect to know if I’m picked up or not? 23rd?

That's when panel happens now so a week after

Historically the selection list comes out two days after NCEPT convenes. So 23rd is likely accurate.

Nope it was moved to the 21st, unless something changed.

NATCA website showing NCEPT timeline as TBD

 

[low.approach22]

Not sure why they don’t just allow the NCEPT panel to run as normal and then update the PPT sheet with the new CWRG numbers immediately after

Eh it was probably me 4x10 and 2 ot this week 🙁 but really one cuz heh

 

[TurnSevenDegreesLeft]

It's probably because they're bound by law to implement this change by May of this year. Read the reauth bill.

CRWG is the biggest scam against controllers in history.

Yes, there has been a significantly uptick in the amount of classes that have been ongoing. For this month of May alone, there is 6 enroute classes, 5 terminal classes, and 1 IQTR class scheduled, which compared to 2 years ago there was a 4 enroute, 1 terminal, 1 N90 class monthly. I've been keeping track of this through the discord in which we have been creating class channels for each class.

If you want actual numbers on the amount of people graduating from academy recently, we have also been keeping track of those that pass evaluations:
Enroute
Terminal
IQTR
