Putting All Your Eggs in the FAA Basket

Just thought i would stop by and say that it only took me a year from the time that I put my application in to the time I arrived at the fornt door steps of ZTL, so I don't see what the fuss is all about.

[WoH]

er....it's been over a year and we have to start over again...so looking at another year.

Umm..if I were on that time line I would've been in OKC in February.

Different people get different time lines based on facility staffing, facility slots at OKC(yes every facility gets a limited number of slots at OKC every year, that comes first before you), willingness to take hard to staff facilities, and a ton more that only the people in charge can understand. One thing to understand is just because you apply and take the test, doesn't mean your entitled to the job. When they want you, they'll bring you in.

I'm in the fast track boat, took me 10 months from app to OKC, but I also applied and got to OKC before the terms PUBNAT and PEPC were even known. Completely different process.
