ZuluSierra said:Does the Islip area get many washouts? I knew a girl who washed out of there a while back but she had almost zero ATC experience going in. And I don't think she wanted to be on Long Island.
I don't know, no one pays attention to the Islip Sector
DankVectorz said:In the 3 years I've been here I haven't seen a single Prior experience new hire wash out but at least 6 faa transfers in my sector alone. Yeah, where that prior experience is from will make a difference though. If you're coming from White Sands Missile Range you might as well not have experience. Hopefully they're not doing what they used to do and won't send people whose only experience is tower.
You ever been to White Sands? I did the Bataan Death March there two years in a row

No never been. I tried getting some people together to do the Death March one year but no go.

It was an awesome experience. Didn't weigh our rucks before and ended up doing it at like 54 lbs. couldn't walk the next days that's for sure.

(They label it prior experience, but Track I is the All Source hiring)

What about the CPCs? We just don't matter I guess

We're basically using you as our 'control' for 7 and unders. I certainly don't understand it, but it is what it is at the moment.

I don't understand breakaway. What do you mean used as "control".

Basically a scientific 'control' in an experiment. The N90 hiring process is vastly changing around him. We had the belief that the 8 and above requirement would be lifted from the N90 bid. It hasn't yet. When and if it does, my assumption is CaptainObvious would be one of the first selected. Until I hear that, I don't have anything else to offer the 7 and below CPC's who bid N90.

So CaptainObvious is at a 7 or below and if selected being used as the metric for whether 7's and below get selected in the future??? Jesus, no pressure there lol

It's a punch in the gut when the facrep and everyone tell you sorry it's still in place regardless of the ambiguity in the email from the NEB. Yet at the same time direct hire and all source bids are put out with selections being made. And rumors of a local area bid. Starts to feel like they're not all that serious about fixing the issue. That or the agency's current employees are valued less than the applicants.

Honestly I think they're trying anything and everything to avoid paying out the 27k move money to 7 and below.

I'm from a 7 up/town too, and I personally don't give a shit about that 27k move, they can keep it. My issue with this is what CaptainObvious said above. What happened to "level 8 requirement are lifted effective immediately." Is all freaking BS...

Enjoy! See if you could talk to Kevin Maney he's the rep there he's at JFK area..good luck
You guys going to N90, are you that desperate to get out of your facilities?

I'm sure everybody got their own reasons why for trying to get to N90..I think you should too! Haha
No way man! I wasn't asking that snarky by the way, just curious what the desire all of a sudden, it can't be the extra 15%.

Of course not. For me I've been trying to get back for years, wife and my families are all from around there...
