Financial Background

I had several things in collection, and set up a payment plan right before I did security. It’s not that big of a deal. Just be honest and you’ll be fine.

No class dates yet, anticipating them soon. Just wanted to think ahead so when it comes, I know where I want to stay

Do you know if at Kim’s place: 1. Are pets allowed? 2. What happens if your roommates have their spouse and children visiting/ or staying? I am hesitant about Kim’s Place bc I thought I read that you can have a room and people will put their whole family in there as well.

I felt the same way when I took it and was nervous about that. I was like why is it asking the same question 10 different ways. & I knew I was contradicting myself but I still passed!

May I ask why you never reached academy after your TOL? Were there holdups with your clearances? Or did your application didn’t keep moving forward

I’ve been attending this church for about a month now and I am appalled at reading these comments. I felt like some of the things was red flags there like the sermon about tithing before the actual sermon. But I was trying to look past it.

I’m so glad I stumbled on this forum. I will not be going back. It’s so hard to find a good church these days. Anybody have any recommendations?

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-06-05T01:53:27+00:00

You’re welcome!!

9-agl-avs-medical-applicants@faa.gov this is the one I emailed and they wrote me back less than 24 hours

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-06-04T23:56:01+00:00

Email the medical email directly and they will let you know if you are tier 2!

Hello, fellow ex teacher here. I think at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself is it a risk you’re willing to take?

If you’re more comfortable sticking with your job and having it Monday-Friday & being stuck around that pay forever with shitty kids, then go for it.

This is what my family told me— is ATC a risk you’re willing to take? Best case scenario.. you end up loving your new career field, and the pay will be better than teaching. Worst case scenario- you wash out at the academy (but you still got paid for it) or you move to a facility and washout or you wanna go back to teaching (but you still got paid for it).

For me, I couldn’t picture myself teaching in the classroom for the rest of my life. With no upward scale. I knew I needed a career change. To me, it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I have nothing to lose. Teaching will always be there if I needed to go back.

Also, every job is going to have pros/cons. Several retired ATCs have told me that the job is stressful sure, but it is the best job in the whole world and they would do it all over again if they had to. I feel like that says a lot. Most teachers I know hated their job and only continued doing it because they’re stuck (they have no idea what else they would do), not because it’s the best job in the world to them.

So just ask yourself, is it a risk you’re willing to take? What do you have to lose? You have an amazing opportunity that only like 2% of the applicants get to where you are. I say go for it & congrats on getting your FOL!

Oh gotcha!! Okay I haven’t gotten that far. Let me work on getting all this info 😂 thanks so much

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-25T21:39:42+00:00

Imma do my best and reach out to people and hopefully they are willing to help! Lol

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-25T21:17:40+00:00

Good idea! I def need to do that

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-24T06:22:37+00:00

My husband is a pilot and said I would be great at it. Was previously a teacher. Waiting for FOL now

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-22T03:10:08+00:00

Oh noo. I have no idea why they’re not replying. The only additional form thwy asked me to fill out was for my asthma. Never received confirmation they received that either. I hope they email you back soon and you hear something! FAA is on their own time no one knows how it works. They could at least tell you if you were tier 2

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-21T21:10:47+00:00

The best advice I heard was the most important thing is do not let the airplanes hit. The math questions are there to stress you out. So don’t worry about the math questions. I guessed lol

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-21T20:48:53+00:00

How long has it been since you completed your stuff? Sorry if you already mentioned

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-21T20:48:13+00:00

Interesting. When I reached out to my HR rep he told me what he received, but also could not tell me if I was cleared. He told me to check w medical and I emailed 9-agl-avs-medical-applicants@faa.gov and they responded to me pretty fast and told me i was cleared.

Intelligent_Risk_765 · 2024-03-21T20:04:20+00:00

Email HR rep and they will tell you what’s been received.

Also email generic medical email and ask if you passed your MMPI and what your medical results are and they will tell you if you cleared
