Facility Placement FAA

Hey everyone, I am new to this thread, but I got hired for the FAA and I'm waiting on my clearances to go through. After my clearances go through, my TOL says i could receive up to 5 facilities. I am trying to get up to Michigan, Ohio, Indiana area. Is that something that I just have to wait and see about or can I talk to someone and tell them I would like the Great Lakes Region? Thanks in advance everyone.

 

Here is what I hear the new process is: you will go to the academy and once you pass your PV (final, if you will), your class will be offered a choice of facilities based on who scored highest. I hope you get a chance to get to the region you want.

Good Luck.

 

Although it says up to 5, you should get a list of any number of facilities you qualify for based upon your experience. For example, I was offered 35 different locations. If you really want to fight for a certain area, talk to HR and try and get in touch with the ATO Placement Team.

 

I'm at the academy now and they give you a list of facilities. The number depends on how many graduate in your class. if you have 16/18 pass you will choose from 16 facilities and you pick in order of class ranking. Or you can choose from oconus facilities and not worry about the list.

 

I know this is a lot to ask, but can you remember any of the 35 you were offered?

 

which 13 facilities were on the list... I am dying to know where the openings are... I'm also getting hired (previous CPC) and just really would LOVE to know where openings are...
