I would take what you were offered and look at transferring a few years from now. If you didn't want it, why'd you put it? I only selected one choice, not two, cause I only wanted to go to one state.
**Big News For February Applicants**
- Thread starter KindaRadley
- Start date
:yeahthat: The FAA only lets you choose two states now so people wouldn't select a bunch of states they don't really want to go to... I'd just take WV now since it's not that far from where you want to be and see if you can transfer later.

Congratulations. You have been chosen for further consideration for an Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) position at the (ZLA) Los Angeles ARTCC.
CA was my second choice, AZ was my first.
I'm happy with what I got, but im not sure if Center is a good place to start at.
Good luck to everyone, I hope you get what wanted!

ATLTRACON has said several times that centers are basically prepared to train new hires and towers and TRACONs are not... so I think starting at a center is going to be fine if it's what you wanted in the first place

Wait, wouldn't it be the other way around? Wouldn't towers be the place to start as a new hire, then progressing to a TRACON or center?ATLTRACON has said several times that centers are basically prepared to train new hires and towers and TRACONs are not... so I think starting at a center is going to be fine if it's what you wanted in the first place

What I have said in NUMEROUS other threads is this. The ARTCC environment is the best place to start. They are set up to train someone who has never spoken to an aircraft in their life. Other than that a mid-level IE lvl 7-9 is the next best place. Progressing from a tower to a TRACON/ARTCC is more difficult, but certainly not impossible. But is is more difficult because you have not had any radar experience to date.

Ah, ok that makes more sense. My first choice was Seattle TRACON so I guess I'm starting backwards but it's a level 10.

I got mine as well for Kansas City Center ARTCC, which was my first choice. They gave me the options of attending the PEPC in NY, Memphis, or Chicago. NY is too far for me to drive & the one in chicago is during the week my wife is due to have baby #2, so it looks like I'm headed for Memphis. I selected the enroute option only, my friend selected both enroute & terminal, he also got KC Center. We were both well qualified on the AT-SAT. About how long after the PEPCs does it take to get your FOL? Then I'm guessing it's just a matter of when the next set of classes begin at OKC.
