I got it to work. Even if its cooked numbers, it shows that basically 2/3rds of the facilites in the NAS have negligible ERRs in to them.What is with this ERR demand link on the NATCA NCEPT page? It won't open whenever I click on it. Anyone else able to open it?
I define negligible as less than 10 Errs so facilities with 9 or less. Thats being generous because the national average is 12 Errs per facility. By these definitions 196 are negligible places that have 0-9 errs in. 113 of those 196 of those have 2 or less.
These 196 facilities no one really wants to go to have a combined 524 inbound ERR requests or about 14% of the total ERRs. This means that out of 3866 total national ERRs on file, 86% of them are out to the about 1/3 (100 or so) of the total facilities in the NAS, whereas the bulk of the facilities in the NAS have little to no interest in them. People don't want to go to 2/3rds of the NAS.
This goes back to what Ive been saying since years ago. Not all facilities are equally desirable and there's a large subset that are totally undesirable. 46 facilities have 0, 43 have 1 and 24 have only 2 inbound ERRs. That alone means over 1/3rd of the NAS is basically totally undesirable for anyone to transfer to, so the only hope at thos places is academy and prior exp hiring.
The top 50 facilities have 2251 inbound ERRs which is 58% of all ERRs out there. Narrowing it down, the top 10 facilities have 764 ERRs which is 20% if you round up a a few tenths a perfect. That's utterly insane that 1/5 of all transfer requests are to 10 places, which comprise 3% of the 313 FAA facilities.
Ncept is a joke. Its a lottery to placate people. If NATCA was a real union they would be fighting for pay raises for the people stuck at those places no one wants to go to. Raise lower level pay to be more competitive with higher level pay and a lot of the issues go away.
The imbalances we see here are the textbook definition of a structural problem and the longer it’s allowed to fester the worse it will get.
Im trying to think of a good way I can present it, but if you have 0 errs inbound there’s a huge correlation there of having 0 outbounds eligible as well.
