Agreed.

It's been a year now. Whoever thought we would have applied for a job that needed us and that we were qualified for and a year later have nothing to show for it. Literally...nothing. An AT-SAT score I guess...but other than that the pubnat next week is square one again.

Totally understand about the people asking. Every holiday...graduation...wedding...all of those people are asking. What's up with the FAA? I know they must be thinking that we're crazy! Who would wait a whole year and then start over.

And don't diss those TOL people so badly. I'm worried for you guys. Someone said that thousands of people were waiting with TOLs to go to OKC. You can't process that many people in any reasonable amount to time. They could be waiting for years. I just don't know how long the FAA will string those people along before their TOLs "expire"

Here's a tip: Next time you get a time line estimate from you HR rep, go ahead and ask them if there is a facility with a greater need that you could transfer too. They fast track academy dates for people assigned to facilities that need people.
