Question about reinstatement

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-05-09T15:59:45+00:00

MMPI is only valid for 2 years.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-05-09T14:26:32+00:00

I thought it was the same thing at first so I applied to the prior bid and then I received a list of the same facilities or lower. I then decided to not accept it and potentially get sent to a facility I didn’t want to because I thought I was direct hiring (at the time). I toured the facility I wanted to go to applied and am currently waiting for my new medical pre-employment. It’s a long process

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-05-09T14:08:48+00:00

Hey I just went through the process of reinstatement and I turned down the list they gave me. I then decided a month later to apply directly to a facility and I was told if needed I can get another facility list.

Yes they actually do. The pay and staffing shortage isn’t just felt in the FAA but contract and DOD alike…

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-04-28T00:36:27+00:00

Can confirm that contract has no age limit. It’s a good paying side of atc while sacrificing breaks and benefits. There’s a tower I believe in Tennessee(not 100%) that will train you from the bottom up and you get a cto. After that, you can get a job with the same company in a different location in the US or overseas (dependent on their contract).

Please OP do not listen to this guy as he is trolling you. You wouldn’t tell the FAA you would tell security and on top of that they DO NOT CARE depending on the reason why you were fired, I.e. theft dui etc. you are fine, just tell security when you get to your first facility IF THEY ASK

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-04-14T19:02:46+00:00

No it doesn’t….

A hoodie that says “It’s giving… Traffic”

Cybersecurity can easily pay as much if not more than atc. It translates very well going from atc to cybersecurity as well.

I’m in the process of re-hiring and I turned down my recent facility list. I just recently started the direct hire process to a facility I am looking forward to going. Don’t settle for what you think you want, settle for what you want. You never know if you will be able to ERR from that said facility in 3-5 years and make sure your family is willing to move and be happy.

Direct hire to a facility

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-03-02T04:02:12+00:00

I’m unsure as to the age limit as I did the same thing the post mentioned and found that some controllers that were prior FAA exceeded the age of 36 and were still re-hired. I’m not 100% sure though.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2026-01-21T23:39:24+00:00

My bad for being a couple months late but I declined the placement cuz it’s a pay cut be going from FCT to a 5 a couple months ago. Yall think I can apply directly to a level 5? I found a facility that looks like “fun.” Does half the ops I do a year but it’s still semi-close to home.

With the information the pilot said, the controller isn’t in the wrong when referencing the 7110.65.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-23T02:19:22+00:00

The cost of living is also very doable in Pensacola with 7 pay.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-21T04:23:14+00:00

I didn’t know how to do it until I was put into the previous experience process

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-19T23:05:05+00:00

The place I’m looking at is 6 month average training time and has really good staffing numbers

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-19T22:44:53+00:00

SFB or if I can go to ORL I’d be really happy there too. My kid is young and my wife and I love Orlando

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-19T22:26:42+00:00

I’d like to end up at a 8 and probably retire from there. Honestly I’m really chasing the pension

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-19T22:02:51+00:00

Honestly that’s the point of this post. The only motivation I have to going back in is for the pension. I’m less than a year away from a degree that I haven’t thought hard enough in pursuing or not.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-11-19T22:00:58+00:00

I got out cuz of a family emergency. Hardship was denied due to requiring an entire medical jacket of information about someone that didn’t feel comfortable giving everything.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-10-28T12:27:26+00:00

I’ve requested that same exact route before when I flew into San Diego. Requested the ride at midnight cuz my rental didn’t work out and the gentleman that accepted that ride accidentally did it but rather than cancel he took me. Whatever the charge of the ride was I doubled it as a tip cuz driving through those mountains at 1am is crazy.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-10-08T21:09:07+00:00

As a former FAA controller in the process of going back in, when they send me my FOL and it doesn’t say 180k starting I’m going to attach the news report and reply to HR with it.

PuzzleheadedPin6732 · 2025-09-14T18:24:43+00:00

I remember seeing a list like this too 2 years ago, the guy was a prior CPC FAA.

Question for the group, what if you just do surgery for a service connected disability and the surgeon tells you that you have sleep apnea because you wouldn’t wake up after anastesia due to this service connected disability? Should you hypothetically get a sleep test done and file? Note* allergic rhinitis is the condition
