WaywardSon said:Genuine question. Is there even 100 of us? Lol They say its about 10% so from 2020-2021 there would be around 150. I know there were some from earlier bids but dang. It really seems like they aren't doing anything with Tier 2
I have honestly wondered the same thing. I know of 2 other people who I worked with that are also tier 2 from the same bid as me, so I’d say 150 total seems about right. But things go so slow that eventually they are gonna be like 5+ years behind.

Here's a link to a paper the FAA put out on Tier II and MMPI:
https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/57222
It's been a while since I read it but I believe it's estimated that 11% of people get flagged for Tier II. I thought it gave a percentage for how many get disqualified altogether, but I don't remember.

Seems its 11.47% of people tier 2'd are fully disqualified.
How long after Tier 2 eval should I expect to get notified if I cleared or not? I had my eval on March 4th

Mine took 35 days. I was expecting two months. I looked at the people on this forum and decided that 2 months seemed about average. But I suppose average doesn't mean much in this process after the three years I've been in it.

This is so frustrating lol
Anybody here have experience with getting a contract tower gig after finding out tier 2'd? Can we use our flight physical from our CIL or do we have to get a whole new physical done? Time limit maybe on how long they last?

As far as I know, most of us go contract. You need a different Class II medical. The one for the FAA is slightly different. They have to be renewed yearly.
Fully cleared as of yesterday! Just waiting on a class date now.
What an unbelievable journey. 2017 OTS bid.
I know there is no definitive timeline for this but I received my first e-mail from Hope from Tier 2 coordination last week. What do some of your timelines look like - from receiving first e-mail to setting tier 2 appointment ?

Tier 2 notification was 7/12/21. Still waiting for my turn to schedule an appointment.
I just had my psych eval and took the mmpi again and answered some questions and was done. The psych did ask for a reference and they would call who I listed. What do they ask?

I haven't heard of the psych calling references. Mine didn't do that.

The psych called my mom just wanting to make sure I have enough time for myself. I work 2 jobs, take care of my kids and take care of my disabled brother.

I'll add to the list. 2020 bid. Notified Tier 2 August 2021. Wasn't put into the que for evaluation until March 25th 2022. I'm going to be in the grave before I see a notice that my appointment is made. Asinine process.
