I e-mailed the FAA about general public ATC postings and it took them over a month to reply, but Spring 2008 is the estimate they gave me just a week or two ago for future ATC general public postings.

I applied to a general public posting (for here in South Carolina) in late July 2007 and last week (January 3, 2008) I was notified for the first time through ASAP that I would be contacted in the coming weeks about scheduling the AT-SAT.

Does anyone know how far in advance they schedule the AT-SAT test? I really want to get into ATC work as soon as possible, but this is still the federal government so who knows.

Does anyone know what the odds are that if I pass (qualified or well-qualified) how soon I would get an appointment to the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City for training and also what type of training schedule during the year do they have? I already have a BS degree and 4yrs working experience (although it is in information technology) so I hope that helps.
