Opinions on this potential nest list for next month?

My wife is really against Lafayette Tower but I am 100% for it. Any suggestions on why I should go for one or the other? Or should I just file for divorce and go for LFT? (jk)

I’d go closest to home but that’s me! Why she so against Lafayette?

SHITTTTTTTT! I'd go for LFT but don't trust me! I got Louisiana written all over me!

Her professional license requires her to retest in that state and it's a lengthy process. Also another reason from her is "hurricanes"

PIA is losing their radar. Probably will be an easy checkout and even easier to get out.

 

[Spaceforce]

BFL is losing their radar to FAT. Both on your list. You would make more at BFL certified than FAT when it’s cheaper to live in BFL than FAT.

I think in another thread someone said that MLI has a lot of bussy in the area if that means anything to you.

Tri cities is a nice area, if you like the outdoors and a not extreme hot or cold climate. No state taxes in TN

Im at MLI if you have any questions feel free to send me a message. Level 5 up/down. Hours are 5:30am to 10:30pm. The people are all great, and it’s a pretty fun work environment.
Also, PIA is about to get downgraded to a level 4 tower only just a heads up.

Okay lol he asked for info and I was just passing along what I know ??‍♂️

 

[Drop987]

Yeah, any and all info is great about all locations. LFT is pretty much out of the question now. =( Cali cost of living deters me from that. Anyone got info on Bismark North Dakota?

Last time I checked around 2018ish they had 100% success rate and decent staffing. Haven’t seen them release in the past few ncepts if you’re looking to get out so I’m not sure if their staffing got worst. Obviously very cold and not much to do around the area.

Edit: yeah looks like staffing tanked. So might not be the best choice if you’re trying to leave

Currently at BIS. The traffic and airspace is pretty easy. Depending on start date you wouldn't have any direct competition for training, but we just let 2 go via ncept so that'll likely change soon. Checkout time is right around 1 year now, faster if you don't need RTF. You'll have to compete with everyone to get out afterwards, as nobody wants to stay.

The people are pretty chill though. And you'd miss this winter at least. They're pretty brutal. Summers are secretly great though. DM me if you have anything specific you want to know.

I think people just NCEPT out recently which is why the staffing numbers are low. I do need to get my first facility since I'm over the age and won't be eligible to reapply. So the 100% sounds like a fool proof plan to stay with the FAA. How many years were you there?

Didn't work at BIS but lived a lot of my life in ND, this right here is truth. I miss the summers up there so much, but the winters are brutal.

Never worked there, just what I discovered from my research when I went through the NEST because it was also on my list
