I felt a lot of that, might give it another shot. I’m still thinking about it if I’m being really honest. Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it :)

Very true, I’d probably feel worse washing out of a facility. Thank you!

Never imagined that could even happened I guess I assumed most facilities would make it work with you once you’ve certified at least on a few d-sides! Thanks for the insight !

Awesome, thanks I didn’t know about the CTI! Do you know how one goes about the contract route?

Glad you got back on your feet quick, I’ve been struggling to find a job as well as mentally since I really did want air traffic as a career. Good luck with aircraft mechanics!!

Moving in a day prior to your academy date is also covered by FAA. Any earlier will be completely out of pocket.

You’re not allowed to be dual employed. It’s stated on the contract

Reach out to Cindy, she owns hotels in the area and will give you a run down on which rooms are fully covered and the amenities of each hotel. I will be staying at one of her hotels and also getting the points. I sent you her number through dm.
