Tommy 2.0 posted:Busier than most 12s too! Cuba is getting progressively busier, and because of the short distance from the center boundary to pretty much all of Cuba, ZMA is having to sequence for them. For my area specifically, the only real change is a significant number of Palm Beach departures headed to Cuba, which want very badly to kill every Miami and Lauderdale domestic departure.

Two things, A: I just realized that the Falcon 3.x splash screen is a Peregrine Falcon. That is, a bird that hits other birds as part of its hunting method. B: Falcon replays are WAAAAAAY better with Yakety Sax in the background.

I wonder what Senior Trump's federal hiring freeze will do with the current bid. One could technically argue that ATC is part of public safety, but who even knows?

Well they haven't made ATC staffing a priority for the past 10 years so I don't see why they'd start now. Really though, the union just got its hands on the order and we're waiting for more details to trickle down. I'm not sure how this will affect current announcement processing.

What are we taking out of the .65?quote:Federal agencies will need to revoke two regulations for every new regulation they request. Administration officials told The Associated Press that they are calling the new directive a “one in, two out” plan. I'm saying we remove that pesky regulation requiring 5 miles/1000 feet for separation. It puts an undue burden on businesses! E: the entire section on non radar as well as the stuff justifying my supervisor asking me for pirep's every 15 seconds too. fknlo fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Apparently 5 pt vets are getting TOLs, so I guess the machine is still churning. Someone on SM said "rumor has it that CTI grads will go straight to facility, instead of the academy, because they already have some training." But I almost find that laughable. Has anything like that even happened in the past.

Isn't the washout rate between CTI and OTS almost exactly the same? That's not going to do them any favors at all.

I should stop reading SM because it's not a very good forum. There's some good information on there, but the hiring forum is 80% rumors, 10% the same questions over and over, and 10% people saying "ugh just wait. I did." On a different note- with the cutoff age being 31, do you have to be in OKC (or your facility for those pipelined) by your birthday? Or do you need a firm offer of employment with a start date or just a TOL? its all nice on rice fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Feb 11, 2017 |

Yeah, it feels like a giant echo chamber. It was pretty ridiculous after the FAA announced the hiring changes and Bio-Q. "There's going to a be a lawsuit on behalf of CTI students/schools! We're going to take them to court!" Come to think of it, I've gotten more reliable information here or directly from the head of the ATC program from my school.

You also get seniority on anyone that does skip it and goes to the same facility as you. A friend I work with is ahead of a guy he went to the academy with because of this.

That's because they reported to their facility on the same day and the earlier date was used as a tie-breaker, is what you're saying?

Just got notified today that "the current level of overtime use is unsustainable." So they're removing all of our scheduled overtime. Oh, and we've averaged something like 8600-8900 ops a day this week. 6-1-5 lookin' good. Their plan is TMU initiatives for staffing. I see it lasting one day. Maybe two if they start on a weekend.

We can officially release 2-3 people as a center, my area not so much. We're for sure going to be -3 on the year with one new checkout vs. 2 for sure retiring, one hardship out, and another getting picked up at TMU. Luckily for me it's not up to my area?

Got picked up by ZDV today  I don't have a release date yet so anything can happen, but the union rep sent me an email to let me know! My area is going to be so hosed. They can hold me for a year which I'm just assuming will happen due to the staffing situation in my area. So I'll probably get a 3 month release date or something stupid just to gently caress with me on trying to sell my house and get everything set up.

Grats man. I'd be extremely interested in your opinion of the transfer experience, training, etc. we don't get a lot of inbound CPC transfers. (And the ones that we do get seem to be the refuse and pencil-whip-checkouts from other facilities...)

I'm so not looking forward to training again. At least I'm going to another center instead of a different specialty. A lot of our CPC transfers are from towers/TRACONS and have issues transitioning. The rest are often the same as what you get. I'm kind of interested in where they'll place me since my area sees a bit of everything you get working at a center except regular military stuff. The guy from ZJX that has been trying to get out since he got here is going to be pissed. Poor dude got picked up by our TMU but the area wouldn't release him(despite our pleas for the safety of the NAS), had a swap set up to Houston which Houston ended up shooting down, etc...
