New OTS Listing - Nationwide

[ATC Vector]

I applied today as well


Is this really the starting salary though?

$17,046 - $22,591
is what is posted on the link.

There is a discussion going on over at atccti.com regarding the academy pay. It appears that people who have recently received a tentative offer are saying that the locality rate of the facility they will be going to, is included in the academy pay.

Good news for applicants living in or going to high-cost of living areas!

Yeah, I'm at a low if not the lowest locality It translates to 19kish. Not sure how you would get only 17k.

what are the chances of actually getting to work where you want to or is it a we offer you a place and you take it or lose it?

Would it be all right to apply and just see what happens since I'm currently doing the CTI route?

Yeah do it. Never hurts. I am currently going to a cti school but when my teacher told me to apply I did. I have taken the At-SAT and am now waiting. It just basically opens more doors for you.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I really want to get placed in my homestate of Oklahoma, so I'm applying OTS and plan to only list Oklahoma as my geographic preference. If I get offered Oklahoma, great! If not, then I can always continue pursuing the CTI route and apply either during the next Public Hiring Announcement or once I graduate from the CTI program. I figure right now I have nothing to lose.
