I have no idea when the next announcement will be, but I would venture to say not until Fall 2008 at earliest.

The long-shot question: After applying, you may/may not be selected to take the AT-SAT test, if you do take the test and pass w/ at least at 70, you wait for a referral to a state, once you get a referral you are assigned to a PEPC OR interview w/ someone locally where you currently live and also have all your medical, security etc checks done, then you get a tentative offer wait for your security etc to clear and get a final offer...then you are assigned a date for OKC, spend 3-4months there and then go to your tower.

I read somewhere 95% of OKC students pass. However the washout rate on the job has increased.

Knowing anyone in the FAA before you get an offer I don't think has much help...this is a govt job so most hiring is all procedural compared to private companies. I could be totally wrong though...but haven't heard of anyone getting 'special' treatment.
