Just wondering if anyone else received a call from HR this morning about fast-tracking the process? It seems they want me to do a local interview to speed everything up.
Fast-track Interview?
- Thread starter CirrusDriver
- Start date
Thats be awesome, i live right near MDT and have already spoken to management there about it all
I did a local interview and not sure if it fast-tracked me. I interviewed in June, and was offered a class date of October

Not a surprise, since I hear controllers are needed desperately in Alaska.

:yeahthat: That's what I was thinking too.
I guess I'll go for it... nothing to lose anyway.

I'll bet you're right. Fairbanks in particular is getting pretty bad; NATCA recently ran a release describing how they're cutting it down to one controller to work the whole operation late at night.
Er, I mean, have fun!
water runway! water runway! Seriously for Fairbanks they should just send some people up there, find some townies in need of a job that don't want to move, process them through immediately and them in class. Everyone they send up there is gonna be trying to get out ASAP. If they can't get out they'll probably quit starting the evil cycle over again. I think the article said that the approach responsibilities were being shifted to Anchorage at night, but Anchorage doesn't have something(???) to deal with the mountain terrain and apparently the airport is pretty busy at night with cargo to and from the north. The water runway is cool though.

OK so I called today and got the scoop. They want me to try to get everything done locally. If it ends up taking to long they are holding me a spot at the PEPC to finish processing whatever was not finished here in Portland. Sounds like I have nothing to lose so I told them to sign me up.

They called me yesterday morning at around 0645 and asked me if I wanted to be expedited through the process but the stipulation was that instead of JNU ACTC, I am now headed to FAI TRACON. Hopefully we get a class together CirrusDriver. :rawk:

Nice! I'm not surprised at the redirect. I noticed three or four people between JC and SM that received FAI and I think they all turned it down except for me.
Cheers to -50 degrees and 24 hours of daylight! :nana2:

look on the bright side you could always hunt Elk with Sarah Palin
I also got the redirect phone call from HR and accepted to go to FAI. From what I heard from Maggie it sounds like they are in pretty great need, blah..blah...blah, whatever, all I heard was "fast track your app and get you into a class date as soon as April"!!!!!!
FAI HERE I COME.
