Ready for some third-hand knowledge? At least the chain is pretty good, until you get down to me. This is from the ATO Central Service Director, via the Air Traffic Manager of a facility that will remain unnamed, who passed it along on StuckMic:
The Central Selection Panel to review Pub Nat 8 is tentatively set for 22-24 Jun and then again 19-21 Oct. The Air Traffic Organization (ATO) determines when the panels are held. Provided they do not push the panels back again and provided you are selected in Jun or Oct, your age will not be an issue. Once you are selected, interviewed and recommended then we issue your Tentative Offer Letter (TOL) this will freeze your age. The TOL is the only thing that freezes you age. Although once selections are made they run an age 31 list and those applicants that are close to age 31 are interviewed as soon as possible.
Course, you have to actually get selected first. That's the tough part.
I've heard 2-4 weeks before the panel, which doesn't seem like enough time, but what else about this process has made much sense.
Plus I would think they would give us enough notice to schedule off of work and make travel arrangements. This makes me think there aren't going to be any panels in June, but what do I know...

:yup:Schedule travel arrangements??? For what? You don't go anywhere for panels. If your picked you get an email...so unless you need to travel great distances to check your email, I don't think travel arrangements are needed
If panels are tentatively scheduled for June, wouldn't we have received our geographic preferences email by now?

You don't travel until the interview or, hopefully, the PEPC's take place.

Don't wanna be mean, but not being good enough to pass the PV in okc isn't getting screwed by the FAA. Okc is designed to pretty much pass everyone and if someone can actually fail then that person shouldn't EVER be allowed near a job that controlls airplanes again
I wouldn't count on the PEPC's coming back in the near future, which is too bad.
