The FACILITY SWAP thread

I can't get my HR rep, a certain BR, to even discuss sending a request to Air Traffic. I'm willing to change my location to any critically manned facility in the southeast and she refuses to even listen. So what do you do when your HR is God and you haven't any other avenue to go?

oh no, she's mine :(
 
I got ORf (Norfolk, Va) looking for CLT (Charlotte) if anyone wants to trade

I have Stockton, CA...will take anything in the east or midwest lol.

Hey you too. I'm resigning my application. I already got CLT, if either of you wanna talk to your HR rep and try to pull some strings. I'm not sure how it would work.

PM me if you want my HR contact, I'll dig it up for ya.

I FEEL YA MAN! I have a certain RD who is the same way. Your post is the first I've seen that the HR person also wont budge. No offense, but I can't tell you how much better you just made me feel today. Don't even get me started on my last 2+ months of this...

When it comes to HR, the "squeaky wheel" is NOT getting the grease.
 
Okay my story - lol uh I applied to several state announcements in '07 just hoping I would get picked up....but nothing and I am guessing it is bc I didn't have enough work experience. Then I applied in Feb '08 and was told to take the test and geo prefs...2 weeks after geo prefs I was told I was being selected for CA terminal from the '07 announcement. I asked if I could turn it down and still be in the running for the Feb geo prefs (KY and IN) but I was told since I was selected for CA all of my prior apps have been wiped out and I would have to reapply all over again...and did not want that...so I am here lol. And ps it would be lovely if you would show me around Sunburn..thanks lol.Oh and BTW I just got a date...Nov 7th! Woot Woot....but idk if I acutally want to got that early lol.

Yea total bummer you have to move out to Cali.
Congrats on the start date in OKC! Many of us are still waiting (including me)
At least stockton has the highest locality pay, but reasonable cost of living...

only 300 ops per day...plus you can practice sequencing with the ILS approach they got (i've actually flown in there on an IFR practice approach... it's a good airport for general aviation students to practice their instrument skills)
 
I know....that is the one thing I am happy about (the locality and cheap living). I really don't mind. I'm young...so if I can check out quickley and feel like moving home, then it should be fine. I'm super stoked tho...I'm not going to lie...I was a bit worried about my security background and credit report. I'm sure you all will be getting a date pretty soon.

Just curious, do you happen to have David T. as your HR person?
*edit* oh nevermind, you just said that on another post
 
Well, hopefully I will get the same academy date, I hear they attempt to do put students together that are going to the same facility. One thing that I am not looking forward to at OKC is all my family bugging me to visit them lol. I love my family but I don't want to seem rude if I can't visit them while I am out there. The great thing about Stockton, it is rather cheap to live, but we still get the bay area locality adjustment :nana2:

I got my date :nana2: Nov 7th. Looks like I am going to attempt to go back into car sales for a couple of months

Congrats on your class date! I don't know if the swap will work, but I had your same situation applying for the state postings. I live an hour from Stockton and I'm headed for Cleveland Center. I don't know if it'll work since you're set for terminal and I'm enroute but PM me if you wanna try and work something out.
 
Well, I talked to my rep's assistant and she gave me the rundown. Swapping facilities is possible with the same facility type (terminal to terminal, center to center). Once you find someone to swap with each person needs to contact their HR specialist who sends the request for approval. From there either its approved or you may decline your current position or schedule a class date.

That being said any Center folks on the West Coast interested in Ohio?
 
I sent and email to DT this week and asked about a transfer and since that is not an option for me since I applied for Nevada only. Anyone want North Las Vegas Tower for a Florida tower swap??? JAX maybe....my sig other is there.
