About the City​

 

[Dontbotherme]

According to a former coworker, PCT gets 2.4% in CIP.

I also believe the PCT is now a type 2 (TRACON, not combined TRACON) and is a level 12 because of it. I was just looking it up on the TCIP link on that aap.faa.gov website.

 

[MJ]

HR has it listed as type 9 lvl11

 

[corn4ahead]

When you're at work, go to the website and you can see what I mean. I believe a round of facility upgrades just occurred.

 

[echster]

My uninformed opinion is this makes sense and will comply with the new CBA. Seems the FAA is going from eight ATC type facilities to just five. You can see this from the old and new Appendices A (Complexity Formula for Pay Setting).

Old:
1. Tower w/o Radar.
2. Non-radar Approach and Tower w/o Radar.
3. Tower w/ Radar.
4. Radar Approach and Tower w/ Radar.
5. TRACON.
6. CCF.
7. Combined TRACON.
8. Centers.

New:
1. Tower.
2. Approach Control.
3. Tower and Approach.
4. CCF.
5. Centers.

PCT just got upgraded to a level 12.

Where do people live that work at PCT? How's the commute and cost of living?

 

[Move78]

Depends what you're comparing it to I guess. But Northern Virginia certainly ain't cheap. The controllers there live all over

 

[NHKpp1348]

Can anyone point in the direction of the facility rep please?

What are the training times? Fully CPC? Thank you.

All depends on the area you’re assigned. Anywhere from 8 months to 2+ years.

Can anyone who works here describe the working hours on average per week? Is it any worse or better than similar locations?

What do you mean specifically? The normal schedule (for my area at least) is:
Monday 3-11
Tuesday 1:30-9:30
Wednesday: 6:30-2:30
Thursday: 5:30-1:30, Mid 10-6

40 hour work weeks no crazy overtime amounts. You can get over 100 hours of OT if you want it, or none at all. But as NOVA said above, standard scheduling.

Does that mean you don't work Friday through Sunday?

 

[170tovocus]

Does that mean you don't work Friday through Sunday?

Yeah, his Thurs night mid counts as a Friday shift. Hot damn, that's a nice schedule.
