What's the difference between category 1 & 2 facilities?

Cat 1 is over 90% CPC to target, Cat 2 is enough staffing to release but under 90%.

Thanks for responding. Assuming no category means the fac doesn't need people

No category means the facility does need people, it means they are ain’t staffed up enough to be able to release people.

The categories are for releasing people, specifically meaning Category 1 facilities can release within 6 months and Category 2 within 12 months but no later. If there is no Category then no one can be released from the facility.

What is the “fast track” option for the NEST?

Back to your previous facility of certification. Dependent on if they are below 100% I believe.

If your previous facility is below the 100% projected CPC to Target

If your previous facility is below the 100% projected CPC to Target

I thought it was 100% AOB. We just got someone back and we’re projected over 100 and actually below it.

I am going thru the process now. According to the NEST SOP 1.1.3 it is below 100% projected. But like everything else, who knows if they fudge the numbers a bit when it makes their job easier

Got it thanks. Yeah to me why fuck a guy over when you don’t have to but this is the FAA we’re talking about.

The AOB projected is FROZEN the day you request the fast track. Went through this. Super easy. So even if the facility becomes 110% projected, but you withdrew/terminated you can still go.

AOB irrelevant for fast track

What were your options on your nest list?

Haven't seen it yet, got an email from RVP saying it is delayed because of Memorial day, should have it by early next week. But if I run the numbers from the PPT it would appear nothing is available within 300 miles of here.

Ok please post them here, I’m curious!

are you a CPC-IT or first facility developmental? I withdrew during Covid, but I was a CPC-IT. I was given a list of 14 facilities, including my prior facility. You can fast track back at any time, so it's worth it to wait for the NEST to see if you can get a facility that is closer to where you want to go.

Do you feel getting 14 on your list is “normal”? I thought you would only get 5 if you withdraw.

And what will be offered, at or below the previous level? Facilities that are projected to be below 100%?
I have a friend who would like to withdraw and go to a certain region but most of the facilities are projected to be 100%+. So i assume there is little chance of getting those?

NEST panel decides what level to offer retention at. Depends on how far you made it at the facility you withdrew from. There is no chance of getting facilities projected over 100%. I am also curious if they only offer a list of 5 facilities or all facilities staffed below natl avg at recommended placement level

SFO bro. Easy choice

Could be worse. Buddy of mine withdrew from training at my level 12, his first facility, and was only offered 2 towers on the opposite coast.

If you don‘t want Bay Area, SNA is a good spot in Cali. Lots of people form there at LAX now.
