I got the same exact thing...

Let's see...
Make $41K extra (locality and CIP versus here) and pay $17K of that to income taxes... Hmmmmm
Then, use that $24K to pay a significant increase in things such as: housing (rent or property tax would eat another $10K+), car insurance, food, transportation costs, etc. I don't think that increase would allow me to break even versus here. They'd have to max my pay (minimum with locality which would literally equal this current incentive), then give the 25% CIP on top of that amount which would be roughly another $45K, and pay more than $27K to move (most likely $100K like they did in 2008.

What they're trying to do is entice guys from the local big towers to come here like they used to do. But as the pay bands are now the difference between level 10 and 11 to a 12 is only a few thousand dollars. But for an extra $20k+ and probably not even having to move who knows?

They can get selected, but I get told 8 and above only still

That is what is insane to me. I honestly expected roughly 10 people with RAPCON experience that had a prior track record of success at N90, but 89? I assume they'll run 5 class, no more than 18 people each. Even if you run 1 class per quarter, how is the N90 training program suppose to handle that many trainees?

I imagine they will space them out quite a bit. And the first classes should go to CPCs willing to bid. I put mine in, and you can't get much higher priority than N90 and yet still nothing off the referral lists

 

[Jordan]

you can't get much higher priority than N90

According to the last priority list, Moses Lake is giving it a run for its money! Haha... What a nightmare this process is...

oh there's that magical level 8 and above thing again...still doesn't make since how and 8 up/down becomes the cutoff for success.

 

[X-Ray Lima]

Is there a list of the people that got selected?

I'm assuming this is the bid with 52 weeks of prior radar experience and not the continuous bid???

 

[breakaway2000]

Correct.

 

[CaptainObvious]

Yeah. They're set up to take on those folks, but not CPCs apparently

 

[Gusher]

I would love to know the reason 207 decided to bid on N90. Was it just the 15% Enhanced CIP that was the hook?

Prior Experience New Hires. It's an in to the FAA that was previously not available.

I'm assuming you have no data for the CPC bid?

Won't be a problem. 70 of them will be done within 3 months.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I do not.

Who has 2 thumbs and won't have to work data for the next 2 years? This guy.
