#2442 How often do you guys see Minnesota on a list for a place to go? I scrolled back to April 2022 and didn’t see anything.

#2443 When you pass at the academy and go to the new location, what are all the posts about that I see for training? What are you training for at that point - to keep moving up? After training are you then transferred to a new facility? Thank you.

#2444 You have to train to certify at that facility. The academy is just a primer really.

Training at the academy is level one, like 5% of the training you'll do. Big leagues is at the facility.

You don't belittle people for doing things differently? Are you a developmental?
14 years a controller. But I AM returning to academy for a few months, so perhaps I'm regressing.

#2447 Honestly. If all the bros wanna go to FAI I would be down

#2448 What happens if you accept the offer to start but then change your mind before starting the online basics class? Are you able to do that or do you have to go through with it at that point?

#2449 You can quit at any time it's not the military.

Plus you can get paid out that sweet travel day and COS leave and probably your accrued annual and sick leave if you really milk it.

FCM was on our list, but that was early 2021.

#2452 Have you seen many south or southeast airports in the terminal selection?

#2453 The only place I’ve never seen on a list is the place you most wanna go to.

Alternatively, your shitty hometown is on every list EXCEPT yours. And when you ask the placement people if maybe you could go home to ZNY, they tell you it's on a training hold for that week only, enjoy your new life in Albuquerque.

#2455 After passing the academy, I know you get some paid days to relocate to the new city. Can you request a longer time to relocate (unpaid, of course)? How far out could you push it?

Yes. I took all 11 paid days plus another two weeks unpaid.

DLH seems to pop up quite a bit on experienced bid lists. STP was just on one of the last few experienced lists. I've seen FCM pop up for academy lists more than anything other tower in MN. Obviously no one's getting MSP out the gate. MIC (Crystal) would probably be the easiest and shortest training time for a slow level 4.

there was an en route class that had SIX slots for ZNY that nobody in that class wanted. The very next class had people that wanted to go and were willing to swap but the placement people said "sorry but fuck off". At least two people that were going to be forced to go to ZNY ended up quitting and sending those slots to the next class

“Willing to relocate to ANY FAA facility?” They put YES than quit after having to go to ZNY. What losers.
