***PUBNAT4***

I've read a lot of different posts with a lot of different angles on this, but does anyone actually have reliable word about when we should expect our geo-pref emails for PubNat4? After reading Pubnat3's board, it looks like they havent got theirs yet either. So assuming they combine 3 with 4, should we be hopeful for November?
The more I hear about people in Pubnat4 still waiting for their AT-SAT scores, the more I think this can't be realistic.

I know its been rehashed before, but if anyone has anything close to definitive or reliable word on this, please, humor me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its going to be a while. good luck. I hope you guys are combined. You prolly wont have the word NEWBIE under your name by the time you get selected....
 
Hello fellow pubnat4 waiters.

ive been trolling these forums since pubnat4 came up on ASAP and i'd like to say that i think its bs that a pubnat that was 2 months before ours is 5 months ahead of us :(.

oh well. back in line!:crazy:

Something else must've been wrong with your PUBNAT2 application... I'm not sure how you got it in too late... I don't think that's possible :confused:

Anyway... in that case, you can complain a little ;)

Hopefully everything works out for us with PUBNAT4... I really don't want to wait for 5 or 6 or... :banghead:

My bet is that they will combine 3 and 4 and that there will be a lot less of us.

I am going off the logic of all those who applied for one and two probably also applied for three and four. Then, all those that did apply, they whittled the list down to those who didn't pass the application process. And for those who were accepted, they whittled it down even further to those who didn't pass the test.

So here's hoping to the combo email coming in November! :panic::crazy::rolleyes:

zz :)

They didn't have Pub 2 Panels select until after all Pub 1 Pepc's were complete. I got a feeling that Pub 3 may not meet until after all Pub 2 Pepc's are complete. This ensures that they can select people for facilities in need that had pub2 applicants not make it through the pepc process...

just my opinion... I am hoping you guys are not waiting long. I agree that they should combine pubnat 3&4.
 
If they were to combine would there be more people for the same openings? Or would it even out. I am all about getting things rolling. I didnt get in till 4 and didnt know about 5 and 6 till just after 6 closed so I am stuck till 7 if I dont make 4.... . Plus I have still not received my sccore yet!!!!

That was the message that I was trying to get across in my earlier post. Is that there are folks who applied for PUBNAT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 that may have been selected in one or two. If that is the case, the number of successful applicants to that point (ie passed the at-sat waiting for geo pref email) will start to dwindle.

I just can imagine that they are going to take their time. And as wyopoke said, I can imagine that they will wait until after the Nov. and Jan PEPCs before they send out emails.

zz :)
 
Since we are all so full of optimism about these November Geo-pref emails.... let me take the liberty of assuming that we actually get them in November.

In that case, when, hypothetically of course, could we expect to start receiving referrals and PEPC invites? I'm assuming about 2 months later after looking at some Pubnat 2 signatures, but maybe they are a bad example.

Anyone want to venture a guess? Essentially, I looking for a "best case scenario" timeline for Pubnat4, with a hint of reality of course. :panic:
 
I can always count on you guys to keep the near insanity from waiting at bay with all the questions and hilarious responses. I owe you all a drink when we make it to OKC...


I'll take you up on that offer when if we are there at the same time.

Next panels are in January, so assuming PUBNAT3 & 4 are combined, referral lists should be out any time before the panels (PUBNAT2 referral lists were posted the day the panels started) and PEPC emails should be out by the end of January/beginning of February.

I don't remember who's signature it is, but it says it the best.

Hooray! Scores from the 10/10 test FINALLY posted this afternoon.

87.1. Not as high as I wanted, but heck, I'm still "well qualified", so I'm fine!

Now to play the looooong waiting game to see if Nashville or St. Louis wants me...

Nice job! that should take a bit of the edge off for a while....I assume your sig shows the correct score of 87.1 and not 81.7...:)
 
heres a tiddbit of info I beat out of the E-mail portion of the HR.

not much we dont already know but the "panels after january 1st" peice made me think were not getting a spot on the january panels.

that means Aprilish for panels? :panic:


I apologize for not answering your e-mail earlier; we are currently experiencing an overwhelming number of e-mails and phone calls.

This is a lengthy process and could take a year, as a minimum, or longer from the day you apply to the day you would be able to start the academy.

After the ATSAT test, if you pass with a 70% or higher, you will be given a chance to select 2 states as your geographical preference and whether you want En Route or Terminal or whichever comes available first. We have a selection panel that convenes once a quarter to make their selections, so you will not receive the geographical preference e-mail until approximately 2 months prior to a selection panel conveying. At this time, we do not expect to have a selection panel scheduled until after January 1, 2009. We will then create referral lists for the panel that will make tentative selections from that announcement. If you are selected, you will be contacted to get you set up for an interview and to attend a Pre-Employment Processing Center (PEPC) for your medical and security; this could take approximately 3 months after the conclusion of the selecting process. After completing the required medical and security examines, it could take up to several months before we could get you scheduled into an academy class. This depends upon the number of classes that we have scheduled and whether or not they have been filled. As you can see, the hiring process is lengthy, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.


Thank you,

Egad, that's a long time to wait! Well, I guess if we want it bad enough...
