hey beehive they do let you pull your name out of consideration for a state you are not interested in. Who did you talk to? I had originally applied to all openings but later went through state by state with a personnel managment specialist and she took my name off of states I was not interested in. If you call the basic aviation careers # they are not much help and seem to not know what is going on. The woman I spoke with is Elaine Mccollum. I think she now handles the ESA though. Robert Anderson now handles the Central Service Area and maybe the west also. Give her a call.
