November (Q1) 2021

I remember the change from the old system to NCEPT in 2015, no one listened to the feedback then either, the Union went ahead with it anyway with most of the membership buying off on it hook line and sinker.

I was so naive back then. #HappyTimes

It at least made sort of sense back then, though. Getting rid of the good ol boys network by going to a transparent transfer system that’s based on numbers alone.

Fast forward 6 years, and it’s changed into the very thing it was put in to replace.

It was never to get rid of the good old boy network though. That is just an assumption people made based on what we knew when it launched, which wasn’t much.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

It seemed like a good idea early on, but ya it's morphed into the same good ole boy network with more "big union" input.

Honestly I'm shocked it lasted this long, but it's lebovidge's baby so I don't see it going away anytime soon now.

Does Santa still sit on the panel or did he give that up when he got “elected”?

It kind of made sense on paper, but only in a perfect world where every facility was going to get staffed up soon, only a relatively small portion of the workforce would be looking to move at one time, and assumed people would advance like the “minor league baseball system” they liked to use as a example (everyone going from a low to mid to high facility, no level 5 to 12 jumps).

None of that happen and since day two it’s always been “NCEPT will work great as soon as X happens”. They changed what “X” was five or six times over the years and NCEPT still has not come close to working as designed or in my opinion outperforming the old system.

This paired with the new hire placement system that puts almost all new hires nowhere close to where they want to be make the movement process off the hook terrible.

At least this way since NCEPT and the new hire system has been so dreadful at staffing the NAS that by the time it actually does we’ll have people who got hired at the start of the hiring surge ready to retire. There might be some space to move for people who got hired at the tail end of the surge!

Why did A90 and LAS only pick up 1 person? I can’t imagine nobody else who put in couldn’t be released. Doesn’t look like they are overloaded with trainees.

They stop facilities below the caps to break up the union and get everyone to bid management.

I think NATCA did that on their own this past 2 years

If you sit on Santa’s lap next NCEPT, you might get what you wish for.

Reenactment of the latest NCEPT

How long does that usually take?

The things id do on Santa's lap to win the NCEPT lotto.

Last one took a few months but it also got sent to the wrong person. Made sure that it got sent to a DC based person this time so hopefully not as long.
