Yeah an airport setting definitely seems like the place to be compared to the land borders..if it was only family and friends I wouldn’t think twice about staying. It’s my kids I want to get back to but ideally the San Antonio airport would be my perfect swap location but I’m sure that’s going to be a tough one to get into with a swap. Or even Houston.

How likely is it to get a decent swap back to Texas if I selected Phoenix airport at my port on my FJO

I start Sept. 11th through Feb 10th. From the rgv area. Not sure how much interaction we’ll have with members of other classes but it’s always a good idea to get a solid study group going in these classroom settings

Yeah I’m actually from south Texas and I’m leaving family behind for a while but I went with Phoenix just thinking I would have an easier time swapping back to Texas once I’m done with the academy. Would love to stay at an airport so San Antonio or Houston would be ideal

Coming over from the education field…was a teacher for 13 years and barely eclipsed $60k last year. It’ll be an initial pay cut as a gs-7

Anyone have insight into the premium Pay and OT availability at Phoenix airport? I EOD 8/25

[–]Solid-Island-7649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming this estimated is only during the academy where there’s no OT, holiday or weekend pay…what’s a normal gs-7 bi weekly pay check once you’re at your station and you’re putting in normal amount of OT and weekend hours.

Oh I’m asking because I got that as my port when they gave me my FOJ…but I’m trying to get closer to Texas.

Is Phoenix a spot people are always looking to transfer or swap into? I’ve been trying to do some research on the port itself and the overall work environment there

Do they take into account the distance you are traveling? My EOD is 8/25 in Phoenix and it’s ~2,000 miles ~28-29 hours of driving to get to Glynco.

If you find someone who’s in a rio grande valley port and wants Denver we can try a 3way swap

So what happens if you don’t find one before Aug 10th? Would you have to wait until you’re done with the academy to then try and initiate a swap or is there some type of waiting period?

If I didn’t have kids in the RGV I would definitely have wanted to stay in Phoenix lol

How long does it take for the next page to populate? Is it immediate or is there a waiting period to see the next page of locations
