Terminal Placement list 10/26/2022

[CaptainObvious]

To keep everyone up to speed...
We didn't forget or stop updating the placement lists. The FAA began using a new system for publishing the information which makes it difficult to access and make available. I'm not sure how soon or often it will be updated here because of that, but am working on it.

I seem to remember an import to excel option but I could be wrong

Those are reserved ahead of time. One is an oconus volunteer, the other is most likely a spouse placement.

Appreciate you updating this. How often will it be updated going forward? I'm sure it's a lot of work.

Planning on sticking with the bi-weekly schedule. I'll see how it goes.

Am I reading that correctly? Another class of poor pass rates? Did only 4 people pass the latest class?

Yep. This was talked about over on the ATC subreddit

 

[WhoIs???]

Are the spots that are labeled with "reserved for previous experience new hires" in the remarks, what I should/could expect on my projected list (sometime within the next 30 days) or are they positions already spoken for?

4/10 passed with 2 failing basics according to reddit.

I find failing basics hard to believe. Did they not drop out?

If you haven't gone through the academy yet, you'll be amazed at how little effort some people put in.

Is it bad I'm already studying the at basics guide and trying to make a little study guide from the test lol. Class is in 3 weeks I want to have a little bit of a clue of what's going on.

Don't burn yourself out before you get here. Enjoy the time before heading to the academy. Cool to look over a few things, but as long as you pay attention in class and do a bit of studying after class you'll be fine in basics.

To give you a quick summary, it is the list of available vacancies and the order in which the FAA would like them filled. If you're going to the academy, filter out the 8-12's as you'll only be sent to facilities 7 or below. When an academy class finishes they will take the number of people that passed, multiply it by 2 and that is their list.
Ex. 10 people pass, the top 20 level 7 and below facilities on the terminal placement list will be offered.

Excellent advice. Thanks a lot..!!!

Just to make sure I understand. If the facilities desired (i.e. PDK, BHM) are listed at spot number 1600 or later, that pretty much means they won't be offered to Academy grads this year. Is that correct?

Yes and no. You need to filter out 8-12s to get a better idea of where they're really at in terms what is offered to academy grads. Also, the list is always changing. For instance, BHM and PDK both had someone selected for ZTL on the last NCEPT panel so when the terminal placement list comes out again they'll be higher on the list.
