BirdieBee said:Friends, I have officially been cleared! This process has been exhausting, mostly due to the pandemic, but it’s over for me now. Keep your spirits up, check your spam/junk box often and don’t drink so much water in a day that your drug test comes back “too diluted” ?. You’ve got this!
Congrats!
I was able to contact the HIMS specialist nearest me and confirmed that they could see me as early as next week, but they need the FAA to schedule that with them. Sooooo, I expect sometime in the next 2-6 months that to happen. I hate to say this but the email I received explaining delays are related to “local availability due to covid” just sound like bs to me. I’m approaching my two year tier II anniversary and haven’t even had the psych eval. Crazy.

who knows why they do the things they do or how they do it, I agree. I think they should send you a list and have you do the leg work. I waited over two years as well. They have to fix the process. I just got a email saying the next list drop will be delayed due to the winter storms lmao. It’s one thing after the other.

Lol maybe?
I know that my timeline is a little fast tracked compared to others, especially during the pandemic, but I’m happy to answer questions about how things went for me. I’m not sure if my location plays a part in how relatively quickly things went for me, but send me a DM if you want ?

Oooo....you got me lol
It was like six months to the day for me from the time I was notified of Tier 2 status by HW (April 2020) to the time I was notified to schedule my appointment (October 2020), which I did immediately and was able to be seen in November 2020. I was told in May 2020 that a psychologist had been selected for me, but then nothing until October, so that was annoying. I cleared Tier II officially Jan 2021, and am now waiting for a class date.
I triple checked my dates so y’all can see it was pretty quick considering some people have been waiting for 2 years!

Southern region
Does anyone have any insight on what I can do with the Tier 2 process? I received my TOL March of 2019. When I ask my HR or the person handling my medical they tell me my Tier 2 is awaiting coordination and there’s nothing to be done at this time. This has been the response since August of 2020, just was curious if anyone had some insight.

Same boat as you bud, awaiting coordination although I didn't hear about it til January this year. I'm gonna shoot an email in a few weeks to see if there's any time frame estimate.

Yea seems like everyone’s going through the slow roll. I had all paper work done, then they changed people on me and had to resend everything again, finished in September with everything, checked back with them in January of this year for an update and they told me it’s currently in coordination and to be patient due to COVID delays.

They told me the same thing and the HIMS doc closest to me said they are available, could see me within a week. Sounds like the delay is with the FAA and not “local area covid delays”

thanks for the heads up! I’m not sure what the HIMS doc is, is there somewhere I can look online you think to give the person closest to me a call or anything you would recommend doing?

It’s a waste of time really. The FAA won’t let you schedule your own appointment

Ahh I see, that would make too much sense anyways lol thanks for the heads up though.

Right?? I had to travel 6 hours (and outside of my region!!) for my appointment instead of being able to find a local doc for my psych eval.

Drive 6 hours? Geez, I don’t guess they reimbursed you for travel either. That’s crazy
So I know there is a wait until we actually get to have the tier 2 evaluation. I know this has been asked before, but what does the evaluation actually encompass?

You’ll take the test again and sit down with a psychiatrist and go over your flagging answers. They’ll not tell you whether you passed or not, they’ll just submit their recommendation and you’ll get to hear back from the FAA via email. FAA foots the bill and selects whom they want and asks you to contact the psychiatrists from their list for scheduling. You must advise the FAA the date and time of your schedule. If you pass, it’s like nothing ever happened and you’ll move on to the next step.
