It's on the north side of the field, near the approach end of RW 22.

Manure and oil. I love driving through Panhandle petroleum fields.
I think there's a controller from Lubbock rattling around on SM somewhere, if you feel inclined to check it out. Close enough that he might have an idea.

There are 8 trainees I believe and about 2 years to CPC. My BF works there and has checked out on local already. May will be a year for him. Hope this helps.
Curious to find out about AMA. I live close to there and would like to find out details about it.
Interested in hiring info, number of trainees, average time to CPC etc.
Thanks
PS - I'm new to this, if those are stupid questions - I am sorry.

I know a guy who CPCed at Dulles in 8 months. A significantly smaller tower shouldn't take more than twice as long unless they just don't have anyone to train the new hires.
They only have about 20-25 employees, so 8 trainees is a significant number. Nearly half their staff isn't certified to control traffic. With few CPCs that doesn't leave many people to actually train the trainees. Which is why it's taking 2 years to CPC there.

They were told that there would be no new hires for the rest of the year. This could change and is all hearsay. I believe it. You do what you will. It seems to be a great facility. I've met everyone who works there. Good luck.
Wow. Eight trainees does not sound good. I have a friend who was assigned Amarillo after her geo prefs, and is waiting for a class date.
It might be awhile for her.
Thanks

He could have checked out sooner, they just let him use the hours he was alotted. Don't know why. Less pressure I guess. It's not taking any longer than usual. Also, its an up/down.
