Very cool. As planned except I don't see the expected format for Geoprefs. I thought there were only going to be 2 but it still gives the whole 10. In a new format I noticed so I wonder what their plans are for that... Whatever the case hopefully it's an honest attempt to speed that part of the process up. :beer:

Also...Boston ARTCC is listed as Boston, Mass. on the FAA site, but it's actually in New Hampshire....
I wanna go there...which state do I put?
AHanic:HHHHH
These 10 states you pick on the App don't mean . It's all about the Geo Prefs, so basically just get a globe, spin it, and stick your finger somewhere and list that.

Done and Done... Applied. Goodbye CFI pay... in about 1-4 years depending on geoprefs.

Well...I'm all done with the application. Hopefully I won't "need" 8, and I'll be getting my geopref email for 7 in a few weeks!
Fingers crossed, and waiting...as usual.

Done. I just hope the ATC gods are good to me and won't make me wait for 8 to get going.

The directions on the first page say to put "United States - Throughout the Nation," as the actual GeoPrefs will come later in the process.
Anyone notice this? Current pay scale starts at $33700, if you add locality it would be higher than the figure listed below. Makes me think this could be a hint of a new, new hire pay scale. Any thoughts?
From the Announcement:
Upon successful completion of the Academy initial training program & other employment requirements, you will continue your training at your assigned facility on a permanent appointment with a salary between $37,463 and $43,867.

Sorry, I just checked, PUBNAT 7 says the same thing...

Assuming that all the figures in the ATC Pay sticky are correct, then the starting salary range should be from $38,370 to $45,276. These figures assume the base rate of $33,700 with the minimum being the 'Rest of U.S.' locality rate of 13.86%, and the max being the San Fransisco locality rate of 34.35%

It's very contradicting because on the front page it says just put United States and Throughout the Nation then on the 2nd tab of the app it asks what specific counties you would like to work in :clap: Might need to meditate on what to do about this :laff:
The very first page of the application is the "Geographic Preferences" page. I don't even see a "Throughout the US" option, otherwise I would choose it. There are options for Duty Location's 1 through 10. For each you can choose a State and City. I just listed the three states I'm interested in, and for city chose "Throughout the State". I left the other seven duty location options blank. On the next page where it asks us to put specific counties in the state we're interested in, I'm just going to leave it blank. Thoughts?
