Question about Probationary Period

[scatc]

Does the one year "probationary period" start when you start at the academy or when you start at your facility?

I believe it starts at the academy. Its been a while. please feel free to correct me if this is incorrect.

 

[ATC Hopeful]

This is correct one year from your official hire date(first day of the academy).

Where did you find this info? I couldn't find it anywhere.

I never saw it officially anywhere, but whenever the question was brought up everyone has always said that the one year starts in OKC.

They tell you this information at the Academy.

If you (in the future) were in the position for a reinstatement or a transfer, your time would be starting on the date that you first arrived at the facility.. Everything else is from the first day at MMAC.

When does the, "will I work traffic or will I not work traffic period start"?
If I can't work traffic, can I have Rick "three-a" Day's job?

Any ZKC controllers out there......
