Lol BPT was my first FAA facility over 2 decades agogood luck!! if anyone has questions abt bpt, i just graduated the academy last month and started here a couple weeks ago 🙂
I like how the current one is pink...... well salmon.Lol BPT was my first FAA facility over 2 decades ago
The old tower was....gross.
I work there. Not a bad facility and location is improving. The entire facility is frustrated beyond belief with the training times. It's all due to one REALLY bad supervisor and a manager with his head in the sand waiting for 40 years. Plus, no union help from the outside. It could be much better.There's a reason for that... with a 54% success rate and 2.5 year training time for a 6 up/down, I'd steer clear.

Anyone know why they failed? Nerves or just didn't have their phraseology, airport map memorized, and/or didn't take it seriously?Class passed 4 of 8.
Probably none of the above. If any of those it was likely nerves but there are so many variables and randomness with the evals and the way they are graded it sucks but a large portion of it is mainly a crapshoot and luck. The evals are not the hardest problems but hard enough that anyone no matter how well prepared can have one really bad run, paired with a evaluator who stacks and compounds the mistakes, and walk away with a 20 basically dooming them the rest of the way.Anyone know why they failed?

Without going into details, ^ this. I will say that the evaluators are very fair and will call it as they see it.Probably none of the above.

There’s some evaluators that wash out a lot too. Wether it’s because they’re are picky or they intimidate people it happensProbably none of the above.

Back in my day classes passed 5-6/16Last two classes went 5/9 and 4/8, but the two before that went 9/9 and most of the classes recently have only lost 1 at most otherwise. Does no good to psych yourself out if you’re here at the academy, put your work in and things will be fine

Anyone have strong opinions about these? I'm interested in details on MSN. I saw the previous comment on FAY.
No idea about the staff. MSN used to be a cool little college town, now it’s become closer to what you’d expect to see in Portland or maybe SeattleI’ve heard MSN has a rough culture and is difficult to check out at
Great for outdoor activities though. Tons of bike trails, lakes, and hiking nearby.No idea about the staff. MSN used to be a cool little college town, now it’s become closer to what you’d expect to see in Portland or maybe Seattle
