If anyone is considering coming the day before and wants to stay at a hotel then you should book a room at the hotel the test is being held at. It is the radisson hotel on the corner of the L I E service road east and North Ocean Avenue. See you guys there.

You read my mind!!!! I'm driving over on a Sunday afternoon for the test on a monday morning. Priceline got me a room there for $50! I knew it would be that hotel, since it was the only 3.5* hotel they have in the area... so I was pretty confident bidding that it would end up the radisson. Worked out too!!

This way I don't have to get up at 0-dark-30 and be stressed from city traffic before the test....

I will also be testing in ATL which is actually going to be in Peachtree City, and i contacted Robinson Aviation, and was told that our names have been sent over from the FAA, but it might be a few days before the emails get sent out:rolleyes:.

Thank you very much. Yeah, I have a family friend that lives in Peachtree, so I will probably stay with them as I have to fly in from Lexington. Lucky for me, he works in the tower at ATL, so I will be getting a nice ol' tour of all of the facilities while I am down there. I have seen CVG, never ATL though. Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped.
 
I'll also be taking the AT-SAT in Holtsville, NY in July. I'm doing the same as most of you - driving the day before and staying at the hotel the test is at. Just a head's up that I got a very nicely discounted rate when I mentioned I was staying because of the test.

Hmm... I already booked my room for the 30th online. What kind of a discount are we talking about here? Worth calling up and asking about?

Im not sure where I will be taking the test in. Hopefully California somewhere.. with the tickets for travel from honolulu to the the mainland it is ridiculous! But anywhere would be great. I am just super excited that I got pass pre-screening because if I make it I would probably be the youngest controller there is. :rawk:

And you are how old?

Do you have any idea if this is always the Long Island location for testing? It's only 8mi. away...:)

I'm not sure about the specific hotel, but the February applicants also tested in Holtsville... that's the extent of my knowledge...

Lucky for you if it is though... I was all ready for it to be in Manhattan or something so I'm like "OK... 20-30 minute ride, no problem"... now I get to look forward to a 1.5-2 hour drive :banghead:

Im not like academically SUPER EXCELLED or anything but my we have a family business here.. and I got into as many programs as I could to get half day or work study programs.. so at like 16 I was a licensed EMT for a elderly community and with my family business I gained authority and the knowledge to be the companies Human Resources Director. I would have never been able to get this far without the family business but im sure hoping it pays off in the end. Thanks though!!!:rawk:

Impressive. Did you graduate early?

I'm not much older than you. I was a bit concerned that they would harbor prejudice versus my age; however, it's good to know that they're open-minded. We may lack planetary wisdom, but we've got a boundless aptitude to learn.

EDIT: You're a quick typer. Yes, a family business'll do it.

Human Resources Director? Did you have the pleasure of making a grown man cry?
 
Still waiting on test date email:banghead:. I will feel much better once i can schedule my test. This seems like it is taking forever, but then i remind myself, that the people going to Oklahoma City now have been in the process for around a year. :drool::drool:

You are absolutely correct! with the adrenaline that is rushing through me whenever I am on this site... I end up typing SUPER fast because I just want to schedule my test date already. Answer to your question: I know it may seem a little weird but I have hired and fired people old enough to be my parents... and older.. But see it was not weird for them because I don't look my age. I carry myself older and unless I tell you how old I am all my co-workers assumed another 3-6 years higher. I was also just talking to my brother about this... If I get this job, and start now... I would be able to retire before 40 years old! Not sure how much older you are but probably still a really decent retirement age.. not that im planning on retiring early.. just the thought.:rawk:

So modest... :p

Anyway, it's still impressive at your age that you could already have the amount of experience required for this

I haven't heard of any new locations since Monday... I hope they get to you soon. And this side of the email is nervewracking too... now I get to look forward to the test and think, "Man, I hope I'm not the first person to ever fail this thing..." :)

You'll get yours too... I'm just curious as to where they're sending you to take it

manilei, it looks like you will probably test in Oakland, according to the locations who have not been contacted yet.
