I called the FAA Aviation Career Division this morning to find out any info on the next pubnat; below is a rough idea of our conversation, but the bigfoot portion is real.
Me: So when can we expect the next PUBNAT?
Them: We've heard around the time of July
Me: And how certain are you of this timeframe?
Them: (he really said this) Do you believe in bigfoot?
Me:
Them: Thats how certain it is...
:banghead:
I can confirm this. I spoke with them on Friday, 3/27 and was told to keep my eye out at the beginning of JULY. When she said that my first response was, "I thought it was end of Febv/begin of March! That's what many people were told!" and she just said that "people just got back from DC where they decided to hold off for budget purposes." She also said that because of budget they had to cancel some OKC start dates and put the people in new classes in July/August and the next set of classes wont start until Sept at the earliest but they dont know when, and that it's a first come first serve type of deal where the people who got their Medical clearance FIRST will get a class date FIRST. they dont put people in groups with their location, it's all about how long you've been waiting and have had your Medical Clearance completed.
I know I'm bummed about all this, sorry to be a buzz kill to all those who were hoping to apply soon or get into OKC within a couple months.
