NCEPT - Facility Priority and Vacancy list

The Air Traffic Controller Resource. ATC forums dedicated to sharing information and building an online community.

DEN number 12, with 3 spots. Lot of hearts to be broken.

Here’s a pro block move; put in for ACK at a blistering number 4 and stop those other pesky coworkers from getting to A80 only to wash out and return-

Especially when the people who would be selected to DEN have Hail Mary’s all over the place and get picked up somewhere they don’t want. I’d be on the phone cancelling all ERR’s to the 1-11 spots lol. When in doubt….. hardship!

Damn some good tower options.

DEN LAS IAH DTW SFO IAD and when was the last time PHX was on an NCEPT pickup list? Year one of NCEPT? Next we’ll see some actual MCO pickups!!!!

Best part is the guy in Montana is gonna get picked up for PHX not the guy who’s been getting his cheeks clapped at deer valley for the last 6 years.

Yah but it’s the cheek clapping guys fault for putting in for DVT. ? Gone are the days when you had to get to a region and work your way up. It’s a free for all out there.

True but he probably thought that was the way to phx lol

The guy in Montana was probably told "go to the lowest level up down you can get. Radar tickets are the key to moving up" lmao

 

[DADDYSbabyBIRD]

Per the numbers DVT is picking up someone not releasing anyways. I would rather be stuck at a 9 than a 4,5,6.

Not unless my hardship to MCO is approved before that NCEPT.

For real though I wonder if there is a hardship "waiting list" for some of these facilities.

I heard about a hardship list into DAL. It would make sense the FAA and NATCA allow it, but it shouldn’t be. Either you take a facility in the area because it’s a legit hardship or you don’t and it is cancelled forever.

I mean.... there's 3 other towers in that area besides DAL and the big houses. If you turn down a hardship to one of those facilities seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Rumor has it the ghost of Ross Perot even stops by from time to time and gives you a midshift handy

You think he’s anything like Slimer? Would be a good trait if you’re a ghost who likes giving handys.

I don't know if I'm disgusted or aroused.


Maybe both.

Don’t play, you know Slimer gives a hell of a handjob. And since he’s a ghosts it’s an OTPH and a normal handy at the same time!

This made me giggle more than it should.

There absolutely is. As soon as some of these get a vacancy they'll take the 1st person off the list and the vacancy is gone almost instantly

Anyone else just a bit upset they didn’t quit the agency a year ago and get direct hired when all these anti vaxers quit or just me

Would have taken impressive foresight but I’m sure someone out there is taking advantage

 

[tangolima]

Are facilities allowing people to visit?

depends on the atm! I was able to visit 2 towers the last month. also asked to tour the center and one of the omics said no, but the natca rep asked the atm after and he said yes so I was allowed in

Hope that omic doesn’t handle the NCEPT ranking ?.
