N90

TEB got a double upgrade last year.
Anyone on here know the details of the TEB upgrade? 2 levels in 1 audit seems very unlikely in most cases but for future reference did those guys get 6% twice?

They'd been at level 9 traffic level for 2 years before the upgrade. I don't know what kind of raises they got but I know they got 2 years of backpay.

I would think they would have gotten 6% back pay from the date they hit 8 traffic. And then another 6% in back pay from the start of level 9 traffic. If not, NATCA failed.

Yeah I looked it up in the slate book you are correct

I just got a my second TOL for N90, my first letter got rescinded for time left on my enlistment. Any tips?

Any updates on a time frame for the new bid coming out ? And any ideas if they will still pull off this current bid knowing a new one is in the works since they are changing the okc classes ?

Anyone know of an upcoming list of tetra courses starting for N90?

March 12th is the only TETRA class scheduled at this time. That class already has students assigned to it from the RTF-Large class that started on January 2nd. They will then attend TSEW-Large before starting TETRA. There are six more RTF-Large classes scheduled and 6 more TSEW-Large classes scheduled.
Here's the TETRA class list, and then in the prerequisites line is links to the other required class lists. FAA Catalog of Training

Thank you!

That March 12th is the first TETRA class and probably going to be used to evaluate the course and then tweaks might be made after. I would expect to see more TETRA classes added to the schedule after that. My buddy with a TOL from the prior experience direct N90 bid was told to expect to go to the Academy in May and report to N90 in August.

Anybody know if any veterans have used post 9/11 ojti bah benefit there? I’ve heard some facilities have it set up and some don’t.

Every facility "allows" it. But yes I used it. 100% bah is around $2800/mo then goes down 20% every 6 months.

Good to know. Thanks

If i put in for n90 and i dont pass tetra, i just go back to my last facility right? And if i pass tetra when does that relocation payment kick in?

Yes. Even if you pass tetra, the way the announcement reads, you'll go back to your facility and await an FOL. Once you get the FOL and a release date, you can start the PCS payment request. You'll be eligible for 60% upon signing all the forms after receipt of your FOL. You'll be eligible for the remaining 40% within 90 days of your start date, but you must have proof of residency which can include a lease agreement or a closing disclosure if you're buying a house. Out of that 27k, you'll get about 18k after taxes.

Thanks, and if you wash out you still have return rights correct? Regardless of staffing at your previous facility

Correct, you only have return rights you cannot go to the nest.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but is it accurate that we only get one travel day (paid admin) if we're driving to OKC for RTF/TSEW/TETRA?

I believe so. Annual leave or RDO swaps are an option if you can work it out.

Yup ATM told me I had to use AL. Meh. Thank you for the confirmation!

Anyone just finish TETRA or started training at N90? If so, how was TETRA as well as getting started in NY?
