En-route April 15th

Haven't seen anyone with a thread for this session. I got my FOL with this class date last week.

I am Phil. I am 30. I have a wife and 1 and 9/10ths kids (our second baby is due any day). I am a HUGE baseball fan. I currently live in Indianapolis and will be assigned to the ZID center here where my dad worked as a supervisor before retiring in 2006. I will be staying in Walnut Gardens during the academy session.

Post here and introduce yourself and maybe we can get some of the awkward small talk out of the way before classes begin.


Good luck to everyone and see you in OKC!
 
Shann (Like Shawn, I know, weird.), 25, no family really :)

Walnut Gardens as well, April 15th date (En Route), ZKC bound. Nice to meet ya!

I plan (if all goes as expected) to be down around the 10th ish. I want to take some time to get "settled in."
 
I'm Aaron. 26 years old. Married 2 kids. 4 and 18 months. I'm training fot ZID. I will me living at Montclair Parc.
 
My name is Ian, 29, just married last October, no kids yet, my wife isn't going to make it to OKC, I am staying at Kim's Place for now, might change to some where else to save a couple grand in cash. Will be going to ZKC after the Academy. I, too, am a huge baseball fan, will be traveling back to KC at least one weekend a month to use my Royals season tickets. I now they suck, but I can't help myself. I really like camping and I here there are some great places in Oklahoma, i.e. Grand Lake.
 
4/15 here as well....

I was going to be staying at Walnut Gardens but I flew out to OKC this week to check places out and now I'm going to Montclair Parc. It's nicer and will end up being cheaper so I will save more of the per diem money.

Might have to go out there EARLY (Like 4/5) since I have to leave the apartment I am in on 4/1....

I'm going to ride on the dunes (Search: Little Sahara state park, Waynoka, OK) the weekend of the 30th. I've never been, but my buddy goes down every year. Hopefully I don't do anything stupid and come back to class with a broken arm..

I don't own a bike anymore, but there's a place that rents ATV's for the day on-site.
 
My name is Mike. I am 27. I have a fiance who is a nurse in KC. No kids, only a dog (basset hound). I am from Kansas (grew up in Winfield, went to college in Topeka). I am going to ZKC. I have been a flight dispatcher in St. Louis for the last 2 years and am also in the Kansas Air National Guard as a crew chief on KC-135's. I am renting some house. Not sure where it is at exactly but the pics looked really nice and it is less than a year old so it didn't seem too bad.
 
I hope someone drops out, because this and May 8 are the only en route classes before FY2010 and both are full.

I'm going to be in a real jam otherwise, because the doctorate program that I was accepted to starts in September. If I decline that acceptance and then something happens with the FAA, I'll be out of a career!
 
What about the rest of the classes in the catalog?

That's what is confusing me. They should mostly be open, if what the FAA said at PEPC is true. But none are for my center. I hope they change their minds.

I didn't think the OKC classes were facility specific. If you look at the individuals who have posted on this thread, we are all attending the April 15th session but are being sent to different facilities.

I thought en-route had different classes than tower and that was the only toggle between the class assignments.

You're correct, people from more than one facility attend each enroute class. However, there have to be at least two people headed to the same facility in each class. They send people in batches.
 
Why you gotta call me a batch? kidding.... Has anybody actually had any contact with the paperwork person? There isn't really a way to confirm whether or not all that stuff with the FOL has been received. Do you guys think you only hear something if they didn't get everything? And silence is compliance?

Scan it and e-mail it back. You'll almost always get a reply that way or you can request a read receipt.

Yeah it may be more of an issue with your facility than the lack of an actual class happening...

Maybe we will see you on 4/15! I've heard from people in HR that it's not uncommon at all for people to cancel 2-4 weeks out...
 
hey i'm phil too...i'll be starting the same class date...see you in about a month. any idea how many people start for one class date? p.s. hope you dont mind if i borrowed your signature format
 
Aren't we supposed to get a packet of info before our class date? Does this come in through email or the post office? About when should I expect it? I have heard of some people who are a week from starting and have not received it yet. Is this normal or should it be coming sooner? Back to basketball to watch my bracket get destroyed...
 
Answered my own question. Finally got an HR rep to reply.
"The academy generally sends their info via fedex about 10 days before the
class begins. Normal reporting is at 0700 - the academy address is 6500 S.
Macarthur Blvd, OKC 73169, i would be at the gate about 0615-0630 to get ckd
in and meet your escort at 0700."
 
Whoever asked about the FOL paperwork confirmation, it's like pulling teeth. I had to send three e-mails. PM me if you want the info (it might be central region only, however).

So let me see, so far we haaaavvveee...

Phil42 - ZID
Bulldog - ZID
Gilie007 - ZKC
(Me) - ZKC
Washburn26 - ZKC
Hudson26 - ???
Pmetzger - ZTL
