Why OJTI?Rumor is you have to obtain CIC qualification and/or OJTI qualification after you check out before you can be considered for an ERR.

Why OJTI?
Gotta train your replacement ??♂️Why OJTI?
Neither of those have a hand in what staffing is, so it doesn’t make much sense.Rumor is you have to obtain CIC qualification and/or OJTI qualification after you check out before you can be considered for an ERR.

Which means you’re probably correct.
I believe NCEPT uses current/projected CPC’s in it’s equation, not CIC’s.
Not everyone is an OJTI and this wouldn’t be a fair practice, I don’t see it being true. Not to mention for trainees it would be a disservice to assign them to bad instructors just so they can bid out.
correct, but in reality CICs are a factor in staffing and screwing trainees over because without CICs some facilities cant train as much as they should be allowed too.
Some facilities have restrictions on who can be an OJTI, it's not always a controller's choice. At my previous facility three OSs had to recommend you to be a trainer.If you’re not willing to train your replacement, why should you get to leave your facility ahead of people who are actually doing their part to increase your staffing numbers?

This is a problem the other problems with policies that say something like “you have to stay as a CPC for at least as long as you were a trainee” is that some low level facilities are full of old Dick bags who would string training out for 3 years because they used to be busy when they should certify people in 9 months. #weusedtobebsuyExactly what others have said. I have trained at both my previous facilities and will again I’m sure. But you and I have both seen controllers that you wouldn’t wish on any trainee. But beyond that as stated management does not let everyone train or everyone be CIC. Thus, it cannot be a fair way to police movement.
I could see them saying you must be certified the same amount of time it took you to train before bidding out.
Back in my day we used to run fighters to both sides of the the runway and just call traffic all day with our eyes closed.This is a problem the other problems with policies that say something like “you have to stay as a CPC for at least as long as you were a trainee” is that some low level facilities are full of old Dick bags who would string training out for 3 years because they used to be busy when they should certify people in 9 months. #weusedtobebsuy
My question is: Why stop there?
Why not include a multitude of other arbitrary factors into the Excel spreadsheet to expand the equation even further?
There must be 2 female controllers for every 3 male controllers. The number of warm bodies in the immediate vicinity of the facility must outweigh the number of cold bodies that left. Leap years, moon phases, religious beliefs..
To be continued.
