Is there a grace period, after you complete training, that gives you time to move to your assigned facility? If all goes well, my move will be a short 65 miles.
Technically you have 1 day. Paid. My facility is giving us a week because it's a 2 day drive from OKC and then to move into an apartment will take a day or two. We finish Monday and start a week from Monday...in December. 1 other guy from our facility doesn't have to move...just drive back so he is starting the Friday after Xmas. We will get paid Tues (travel day plus per diem) Wed (Leave..poss Fed holiday) Thurs (Fed Holiday) Friday (Leave) so a full weeks pay.
also, just curious, i noticed in your signature that you had a PEPC invite but applied on 5/30, do you mean 5/2?
Probably because we are all going crazy with this waiting... :crazy:
Once we have something other than JC to occupy our minds, most of us will be back to normal... which for some is still a little :crazy:
Haha. Congrats on being in OKC Lalexf, we are all rooting for you!!!
Something to consider when people wrap up training at OKC and have to report to your given facility; do not call your facility and ask them for more time to relocate there.
This affects your seniority at the facility. Other newbies may be reporting for work the same day as you, and you'd lose that seniority if you asked more time to move and report to work there. They base it on the very day that you step foot inside to work there.
That would be the general rule of thumb but it is very hard to do that if you don't live within 1 day of OKC.
I was under the impression that seniority started your 1st day of training in okc. not so?

If you go to OKC prior to reporting to your facility, your seniority starts your first day there (in OKC).

Actually, under the NATCA seniority rules, seniority starts your graduation date at the academy, because it is the first day NATCA can represent you. The NATCA rep at my facility had to go over all of this because myself and one other girl arrived at our facility on the same day at the same time, so he checked that, and since we were in the same class, we did a coin flip to see who got seniority.
