Weird, on the most recent Terminal Placement list I downloaded from here there isn't an option to view "reserved for academy grads" and a lot of those options are pretty far down the list except for CPR and FSD everything else is 167+.
I'm waiting on a list from a prior experience bid and was trying to gauge what could show up, I give up trying to guesstimate what it'll be. Lol
Post the list when you get it yeah?
Were going to be the next class to PA. A guy in our class looked at the placement tool and it had 10 spots reserved for our class. We likely won't get our "official" list until next Friday after we run problem 13. But here's what the placement tool says is reserved for us.
ALO- Waterloo, IA ARB- Ann Arbor, MI CMI- Champaign, IL GGG- Longview, TX PNE- (East) Philadelphia, PA HSV- Huntsville, AL
CPR- Casper, WY
BTV- Burlington, VT GGG- Longview, TX
FSD- Sioux Falls, SD
129916 got our list today:
PNE
ALO
YNG
ARB
CMI
GGG
PNE
HSV
YNG
SYR
SUPER AWESOME LIST
PNE = Northeast Philly will prob be popular. Not great pay level but highly sought after area of the country to live in, and therefore stands to reason will be necessarily easier to leave too.
ARB = gods country.
SYR = lots of snow, & OT.
CMI = "No sex in the Champaign room", but lotta funny business in CMI tower. the governor's make your license plates in IL, but close enough to live in Indiana & therefore still retain all constitutional rights!
YNG = sad place but nice people working there. Since you listed it twice might be a sign.
HSV = "Hey, at least Nashville is less than 2 hours away!"
ALO = Ed Helms was good in Cedar Rapids, but the movie made a mockery of poor ol Iowa

This guy knows his shit, if you try to call him a troll you don’t appreciate hearing the truth about ATC and this career......
And yes, for an academy list this is one of the best I’ve seen.
Multiple facilities that have terrible training programs and nobody leaving in the next century on that list. "Great list" pick a tower only and save yourself misery.

Do you know how many friends and family members of mine would take a 60k+ a year job with benefits and a pension in a heartbeat. In any of those city's. They would honestly go anywhere in America for that, and being told they are "stuck" there wouldn't change their mind at all

? there’s nothing wrong with wanting to live in a specific place and enjoying where you live. So sick of the mentality that you should be thankful to the FAA for giving us the precious opportunity to work for them. This topic has been rehashed a million times so I’m not gonna blabber on about it anymore.
