New hired above lvl 8

[VeganButEatMyMeat]

Made a post on Reddit about my desires to go to P50 and somebody wrote that Gilbert said that new hires are not going to any facility above a level 8. Any truth to this?

Unless you are prior experience, you will go to a level 7 or below.

Sorry yes prior experience. They said that even prior experience new hires will not go to a facility above a level 8. Any truth to that?

Here's how you get P50. Go to the academy in OKC. Abduct an enroute trainee. Sacrifice them to the God of flight. Then email ato-placement within 5 days and wait for a response.

Do me a favor and learn how to read or understand what you are reading. If you need help PM me... I'll google a couple programs for slow people. Not the question I'm asking here.

Touchy.

Not true. CVG (9), MIA (12), S56 (10), A80 (12), are all getting new hires in the next month or two.
Here's the SOP how prev. exp hires are placed. Previous Experience Hire Placement

That's not what the person wrote. According to the poster on reddit, don't expect prior experience new hires to N90, C90, A80 anymore.
Then it was his opinion you wouldn't see anything above level 8.

There's a new hire going to A80 in feb.

Just read the Reddit post. I think what he's talking about happened a while back. When they first started the prev exp skipping academy and such, they were sending boatloads of new hires to the worst staffed facs, places like D10, N90, etc, based on their "experience". people with any radar-like experience were getting sent there, and washing at a high rate. Which was appearantly surprising to the people in charge, despite them doing the exact same thing about 8 years ago.

I'm a DOD civ, a little older who just became eligible because of the new age change. I work NHK (Patuxent) Approach. I'd say 99% of the people that get picked up from here (with either TRACON or CTO's) get offered lvl 11-12 facilities... people that have left here have gone to: F11, A80, 3 to N90, 2 to ZDC, ORD, 4 to PCT Tracon and zero have washed, zero. They have to look at that right?

I know that life is easier at lower level up downs. I'm soon to be divorced, she's taking my son, I'm going to have nothing to do, and would love 6 day work weeks.

How does that work as far as volunteering for Alaska (for instance)? Anchorage is a level 8. Can new hires still volunteer for Alaska/PR/Guam?

 

[rdyotz]

I am at the academy now, they are taking some volunteers but it all depends on the staffing at the time. Volunteers need to notify them about a month before graduation (so you won't know what will be on your list) If staffing is in a certain range, they may honor the request, but they do deny it as well. Also, they do occasionally have a level 8 on the new hire terminal list - BUF was chosen by the last class to graduate.

 

[ajmezz]

According to the facilities tab, BUF is only a 7. Did they get an up/downgrade?

Unless it was upgraded after the 28th of december, it's a 7.

 

[rdyotz]

Weird, the packet they gave us (of all the facilities) lists it as an 8 (received on 12/22). Maybe it is just outdated? Although it does have BDL & CID at only being level 5 (downgraded in november).

We have new hires walking in, and walking out, the door it seeems weekly at A80.

No surprise, according to the Priority Placement Tool it's at 61.8% training success rate.

Strange that every large tracon has that exact rate....
