Because people will actually go to VGT. VGT will get willing controllers who have washed out and people have hardshipped there. You can live in Vegas making VGT money. People are pretty smart these days and will do everything in their power to stay from somewhere like ASEWhy doesnt ASE get the same amount of new hires as VGT. I know people who want a FAA ATC job badly. They would take ASE in a heartbeat. Center washouts fingers crossed about getting a 2nd chance at a lower level facility would jump on ASE too. Why isn't ASE getting these people!!!!
The real Travesty is the FAA doesn’t try to hire locally for these HCOL places. People already live there and work jobs where they make a lot less.Because people will actually go to VGT.

Wow. Lots of people will be without a job in a year or 2.They’re legally not allowed to. They had to get a court ordered waiver to do the local N90 bid, and part of the stipulation to make it fair to national hires was that the bid is for N90 only so if you wash you’re done, no NEST.
That’s legally dumb and makes no sense. But what’s stopping them from have an ASE all sourced bid? Or a ZOA all sources bid?They’re legally not allowed to.

ASE wouldn't be worth the effort and ZOA isnt the same meat grinder needing staffing. As for being dumb yeah that's true, but by law they have to offer it nationally, so area specific is very rare. Something something democrats republicans MAGA and stuffThat’s legally dumb and makes no sense. But what’s stopping them from have an ASE all sourced bid? Or a ZOA all sources bid?
But imagine the hundred controllers forced to the Bay Area when there are millions that already live there and want to live there.ASE wouldn't be worth the effort and ZOA isnt the same meat grinder needing staffing.

My facility has never been within 2 cpcs of releasing anyone. Currently 3, going on 4 cpcs short of Cat II. “share the burden” is what we’ve been told by NATCA.
We usually get center washouts after they washed on a higher tower, most recently SEA or PDX...one of em. But it is a pattern and it's next level bs that center washouts are taking tower positions in 9/10/11
CPC at 4,5,6 can't transfer into 9,10+. You're told, "Go to a 7,8 first and get some more AC experience". --- Yet a non CPC can wash down to a 8,9,10+
Serious question about the people making these rules. Were they ever controllers, or are they just HR logistic types?
Plenty of low levels transferring to high levels since NCEPT
But all that OT, though?Currently 157ish short of CAT2
OKC?Currently 8 people short to release anyone. 60 percent staffing at a lvl 8 up/down. Id submit my ERR but what’s the point? We’re like 2 years away from MAYBE releasing anyone lol
