Isn't the question that the FAA is asking pretty much exactly the same thing that nearly everyone on these forums has been trying (in many cases for months on end and in nearly every case with precious little success) to find out from the the outfit that was contracted to run the hiring process... by the FAA?

Affirmative. Here is the e-mail-

I am with the Air Traffic Organization, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in Washington, D.C. As you know we are currently pursuing candidates who have applied for consideration as air traffic controllers. Out information indicates that you have been in process for placement into that occupation. Because there are several different lines of business in the FAA that must gather information on you and make a determination as to your suitability for a final job offer, we are concerned that we may not be up to date on where you are in the processing. These are the steps in processing:

1. Interviewed by an Air Traffic interviewer.

2. Received a tentative offer letter.

3. Fingerprinted.

4. Input of information into the electronic security questionnaire, E-QIP.

5. Medical physical.

6. Psychological factors examination.

7. Drug Tested.

8. Received a final offer letter.

9. Have a reporting date to the FAA Academy.

10. Have already reported to the FAA Academy .
(date)

Please identify all the steps you have completed from the listing above. If you have informed an FAA contact that you do not wish to be considered for placement, please provide that information as well.

Our goal is to process and bring individuals on board as quickly as possible with consideration for any special circumstances that you might have. Please respond to this e-mail at the above address no later than April 28, 2008. Absent your response, we will consider you to no longer to be interested in becoming an air traffic controller.
