I'm in for Indiana terminal
I vaguely remember someone saying a while ago that you won't be considered for more than one location at this point...
Congratulations. You have been chosen for further consideration for an Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) position in a terminal facility in the state of Iowa.
I am in! The thing is I chose the Chicago area counties as my first choice and my hometown county in Iowa as my second choice. I have a contact at my preferred Iowa terminal so I emailed the Supervisor or Manager some info about me and asked if I could be selected for his facility. I sent the email Monday morning the week they were making selections and I never heard back. I am trying to get a hold of my contact this morning but can't reach him.
Do you think they would stick me in a terminal in Iowa that is in a county I did not specify?

They've put some people in states they didn't even select.

Strangely enough, I just got a second email! lol. I got the original email this morning, replied with my preference to commence with the non-PEPC route, and just got an email confirming receipt of my reply.
Not big news, but at least it's working on a relatively (relative to the govt) quick timeline.
I talked to Deena (Dina) in OKC. I guess at this point they are not going to be very helpful. She said she wasn't even sure if the emails were going out yet, but that they may do it by referral list or location and it could last a few days. Other than that she really had nothing more to say other than to continue to apply over and over again. There will be a PUBNAT announcement pretty much every month through September.

TGIF even though I heard that down there people are sucking wind.

Wow, thats a bummer. I guess there is only 1 out of the 5 terminals in Iowa that would not want to go to (Sioux City) so I guess I am in a good position.

Cmon ATLTRACON...I've read a lot more on here than I've posted, so I know your position and I respect it, it makes sense...but can a guy (or girl) recognize that his goal is hard to achieve yet still strive to achieve it? I could understand if the failure rate was 99.9%, then maybe Acey97's ambition would seem foolish..but being the 1 person to succeed out of every 4 people that try seems like a doable challenge for many... You don't always have to be so negative
I don't think he is being negative, I think he is trying to give everyone a plan that gives them the best opportunity to succeed. If you start at a big facility and don't make it, you are fired! That is it, game over. A 75 percent wash rate is big. I'm not saying that Acey97 or a first officer or an airbus330 with a Columbia education wouldn't be able to make it, but with a 75% attrition rate, is it worth it? In my opinion it would be smart o follow his advice and learn the job and then try to give it a shot. ATLtracon is giving everyone what seems like great advice that other veteran controllers agree with.

Well I just got my email and I'm pretty sure they don't factor where you live based on your choices as I previously saw somebody say.
First choice was ATL center
Second was Tower anywhere near my county in FL.
They gave me Center in Memphis TN.
So what can I do to stay in the game but not go to Memphis? Anything?

You can decline it and wait for the next PUBNAT I suppose.
