I got $50 that says they just told you that so everyone would stop calling and asking...

Any takers?

I'm with you. Most of you need to chill out. It will come when it comes and annoying the folks at the FAA or Robinson isn't going to do anything to speed up the process.

As long as the same person doesn't call repetitively, I see no problem in inquiring about such a serious time investment here. Those in the office are PAID to speak and provide information to the public. Don't let them get off easy.

Also, nine times out of ten, they are not the ones reviewing your application, or anything else -- they ALWAYS refer you to some other person's private office for that, so you're not disrupting the process whatsoever.
 
Hey Guys,

I've been following this thread for a while now, but haven't posted anything as of yet. I took the AT-SAT on 6/27 in Covina, CA and passed with a 98.2. I had a few questions I was hoping someone might be able to assist with:

1) What is the meaning of the PUBNAT2, PUBNAT3, etc. that I see in the footer of several posts? Like this one...

05/02/2008 Applied OTS PUBNAT2
05/30/2008 Applied OTS PUBNAT3
07/31/2008 Applied OTS PUBNAT5

Are people actually able to apply to several different announcements? If so, does that somehow enhance your chances of getting selected?

2) I see that several people are taking tours of facilities they are interested in working at. I think I should probably do this as well, but wasn't sure about the process...can somebody provide some insight on this?

3) How do I add a footer to my posts like everyone else has?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

1) PUBNAT1 is the first public nationwide announcement of this year, PUBNAT2 is the second, etc... It's recommended you apply to every announcement so you have backups if you're not picked up from your first application.

2) Call the facility, tell them you're interested in becoming an ATC and ask if it would be possible to set up a tour.

3) Click on User CP at the top left of the page and click on Edit Signature on the left.

Lol. Who really knows. I will say the attendant on the other end seemed more than happy to help, therefore I don't think she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. AT
 
They started sending out confirmation emails for the Chicago PEPC today, which is the last PEPC for the FEBOTS... hopefully this means they'll get our geographic preference emails out next week...
 
I hope you are right...............The MAYOTS are already scheduling their tests now.............Hope they don't plan on putting the 2 announcements together.................Starting to become a little impatient frantically checking e-mails several times a day :panic:

Oh, come now, you cannot be serious.

We submitted our apps three weeks apart, you're already three steps ahead in the process, and you wonder if they're going to group us...? We didn't receive word that we even had a shot at this job to begin with, until two months later when you all were done testing -- be grateful for that, because we got the sh-t end of the stick.

Yeah, I think she is right, it will be another month to a month and a half before they get done testing, we should have geo pref. and referral lists out by then.(Hopefully)

I am not going to engage in an argument with you..........we all are in the same process. I had no intention to offend any of the other applicants. My time is unfortunately shorter than a lot of you guys due to already being 30. For some reason you find something offensive in every post on here. Best of luck to all of us!
 
(NOT arguing, just observing and confused)

I don't see how he's any further along in the process (just from reading the above post). I applied first to 05/02, took my AT-SAT in July, I think most of the 5/2 folks did as well??

:confused:

Further along than 5/30ers, who he suspects they may group together (obv. he's wrong).

I don't find anything anywhere "offensive"; I just run into too many plebeians, luddites, and cerebrally-deficient morons.
