Doesn’t a TETRA class end today?
Yes, hopefully we get some feedback. What’s your class date?
My HR POC would not confirm that it’s for N90 for some reason. I’ve been banking on going there so it would be nice to have that confirmed but the general consensus is that that’s what it’s for...
Directly from them (via a TELCON)My HR POC was also really weird about it. For starters, they gave me the wrong end date by like a month initially. I reached out to reconfirm and they’re still saying an end date that would be wayyyy to soon. Also, they won’t confirm what is job jeopardy and what isn’t. I know it’s posted all over but with this being a new track, it would be nice to hear directly from them what is job jeopardy and what isn’t.

Basics - Pass/Fail
RTF - Pass/Pass
TSEW - Pass/Pass
TETRA - Pass/Fail
1) I find it hard to believe the agency would fire someone who passes everything except the 10+ screen when you could still be useful at a 9 or lower.Ok great. Is that for both new hires and prev experience. Now the only questions that remain are:
1. If you don’t pass TETRA, but do really well in TSEW, are you terminated? (As no experience new hire)
2. If you pass TETRA, is that an automatic N90?
I live 15 mins from N90 but I was realllly hoping to get away a bit and not stay in the area. I would consider moving back in the future but right now, I would much rather live elsewhere.

Because they Dont know, it has nothing to do with their job.What do they have for your end date? I agree though I wish they’d be more upfront and just let us know it’s for N90. I mean it obviously is but I’d feel better knowing for sure after the academy I’m just coming home. It would uncomplicate everything even though it’s pretty safe to say we’re going there. Maybe someone who stared 4/2 can confirm if they’ve been told. I was told to ask ATO when I arrived.

2) No, all higher level facilities will end up using TETRA. N90 was just the first and most critically staffed to try it out.
I posted in a previous thread about it, but you all will need to find out officially what happens if you do not pass TETRA. If they will send you to a 9 or below TRACON, best to take a dive and avoid N90. You'll get a better facility that way then going through the NEST after washing from N90.That’s what I was thinking in regards to the first question but I want to find that out for sure and how exactly they decide whether or not you should be terminated. Yes it’s not fair if they do terminate you after TETRA but they probably don’t really care. Thanks for your input!

If failing TETRA for new hires results in placement to a less than 10 then RTF should be pass/fail job jeopardy. Having basics be the only pass/fail job jeopardy for new hires is basically an entire pass/pass track. Who's failing basics? Also they're gonna have to same type of problem they had in the past when people would fail the N90 labs on purpose.
Tetra test class finished PAs today. If they had been a pass/fail class, 6/8 would have passed.
All were prior experience hires, originally assigned level 8-9 tracons.What kind of students was the test class made up of?
