I'm not sure about the specific hotel, but the February applicants also tested in Holtsville... that's the extent of my knowledge...

Lucky for you if it is though... I was all ready for it to be in Manhattan or something so I'm like "OK... 20-30 minute ride, no problem"... now I get to look forward to a 1.5-2 hour drive

Im not like academically SUPER EXCELLED or anything but my we have a family business here.. and I got into as many programs as I could to get half day or work study programs.. so at like 16 I was a licensed EMT for a elderly community and with my family business I gained authority and the knowledge to be the companies Human Resources Director. I would have never been able to get this far without the family business but im sure hoping it pays off in the end. Thanks though!!!

Impressive. Did you graduate early?

I'm not much older than you. I was a bit concerned that they would harbor prejudice versus my age; however, it's good to know that they're open-minded. We may lack planetary wisdom, but we've got a boundless aptitude to learn.

EDIT: You're a quick typer. Yes, a family business'll do it.

Human Resources Director? Did you have the pleasure of making a grown man cry?

[ATC Hopeful]

Still waiting on test date email. I will feel much better once i can schedule my test. This seems like it is taking forever, but then i remind myself, that the people going to Oklahoma City now have been in the process for around a year.

So modest...

Anyway, it's still impressive at your age that you could already have the amount of experience required for this

You are absolutely correct! with the adrenaline that is rushing through me whenever I am on this site... I end up typing SUPER fast because I just want to schedule my test date already. Answer to your question: I know it may seem a little weird but I have hired and fired people old enough to be my parents... and older.. But see it was not weird for them because I don't look my age. I carry myself older and unless I tell you how old I am all my co-workers assumed another 3-6 years higher. I was also just talking to my brother about this... If I get this job, and start now... I would be able to retire before 40 years old! Not sure how much older you are but probably still a really decent retirement age.. not that im planning on retiring early.. just the thought.

I haven't heard of any new locations since Monday... I hope they get to you soon. And this side of the email is nervewracking too... now I get to look forward to the test and think, "Man, I hope I'm not the first person to ever fail this thing..."

You'll get yours too... I'm just curious as to where they're sending you to take it

manilei, it looks like you will probably test in Oakland, according to the locations who have not been contacted yet.

I HOPE SO!! Because that would be the shortest flight.. with ticket prices nowadays... I was hoping for California too, my best friend lives up there and would be able to pick me up and stuff like that.. works out easier!

I know precisely what you're talking about. I'm turning a bit neurotic on here, with all of the checking.

In terms of retiring -- I'm 19 now, but depending how fast this process progresses, I could possibly be 20 by the time I would be placed on location, if say, I do get offered the job. So many 'ifs'. Regardless, that's not so bad for a starting point...

[GeorgeM]

You guys are certainly no younger than most of the recruit ATCs just starting military training. I wish you well.

[Victor]

I guess another day with no email for ATL AT-SAT dates. Anybody else hear anything?

[pdorian]

I have yet to hear anything from Ft. Lauderdale about my testing information. I'm getting a little annoyed here. "Woo-Sah!!"

Sadly nothing yet. Hopefully tomorrow, or Monday, or Tuesday, or....you know what I'm getting at.

[justme62]

I'll be joining some of you in Holtsville, NY on July 1st.

[pdorian]

Haven't recieved any emails yet concerning my testing information so I called up Robert "Bob" Oborsky in Robinson Aviation and he states for applicants in my area, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. that testing will be held July 11- July 18 in Dania, FL and my name is on the list and to expect to be emailed the information the last week or two of June. I told him I can be anyplace at anytime to take the test earlier than what I am scheduled, and he stated all Florida applicants must be tested in the same state they reside in.

Hope this information helps anyone that's in the same situation!

I don't think it would help you to travel to another city to take the test a week or so early.

Typically in mass hiring announcements like this they want for all the nationwide testing to complete, and then move forward in the process. You won't get left behind...

They didn't do anything at all with the 2/15 announcement until ALL of the AT-SAT's were done. Only then did they do the geo pref emails. So there's no hurry.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that. He said ALL scores for this announcement will be fowarded to the FAA on Jul 18, which happens to be the last day of testing for Dania, Florida. So it seems that those of us who are taking the test earlier than some of us, that the results will be fowarded the same time!

That's different. My results were sent in the next day from Seattle. I know because I got the results in ASAP a few days later.

[gourgi18]

I'm testing on 6/25 in Houston. Anyone else?

Keep an eye out on snail mail. I never did get an email regaurding the test date. I got a letter from the contractor a day before I needed to reserve my slot for the testing day. It was very nerve racking. I only had 12 days to schedule a flight and get a hotel room lined up. Hope you hear soon.

[manilei]

does anyone know if there is a deadline for all applicants to set their AT-SAT test date? or is it all separate for location..? Just wondering because I believe I am going to end up testing in California but never received anything yet. no email. no letter. no call. Just trying to find a way to freak out because im so anxious!!!!
