Hmm...It seems we are running out of things to talk about. I'm curious when everybody thinks they will be heading down to OKC. My best guess is sometime in May but its just a guess.

Not soon enough. I'm losing my mind already ....

I think May is being a little too optimistic... my guess is that this group will start heading to OKC in August or September.

My guess is summer in OKC, based on this.

Festivus.

I think on Dec 23 we need a Festivus thread so that we can all say what we don't like about each other. I know I have some grievances to air about Bigpopptl's avatar.

According to an article in the Federal Times (http://www.federaltimes.com/index.php?S=3422514) the FAA has shortened the process for hiring controllers! Instead of taking six to nine months... it only takes two to three.
Hmm.

 

[FM_Weasel]

Well somebody should really tell the FAA then, cause we're still taking forever.

I feel like I am here all the time... How many posts do I have to make to loose the newbie status??

First you have to learn the difference between "loose" and "lose"

The first hiring center was in Jamaica, N.Y., on Jan. 13 and that week it processed nearly 100 candidates that it invited from 200 miles around.
“Within two weeks, we had [hired] 21 people,” Trinka said. “And another week after that, they were in their academy training classes.”
:crazy:anic:

Can anyone confirm or deny this news? our geo prefs were due on the 8-9th 9th for geo pref pubnat 4 and 8th for geo pref on the 8th when will the panels be hosted?

Everything I've read points to referral lists coming out the week before the panel (scheduled for January 12th) at best, or the on the day off the panels.

I have nothing to refute his claim, but he is the only one claiming referrals will be out this week. So I'm going to go with the majority, and say probably not till after the New Year. Just enjoy the holidays in the meantime. :crazy:

I PMed the person who posted that and s/he said that it was just an assumption.
