here is the email i received back in june when they offered me zdc, this doesnt sound like what the email is that these other people on jet careers are getting, i obviously removed my name, address and the info of the person who sent it to me:

Congratulations. You have been chosen for further consideration for an Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) position at the Washington ARTCC in Leesburg, VA.

We are scheduling ATCS Pre-Employment Processing Centers (PEPCs) over the next few months in several locations. PEPCs are a new expedited method of processing and will include your interview, a security screening, medical evaluation, psychological evaluation, and drug test. In addition, if you are tentatively selected, you will receive a Tentative Offer Letter providing specific information on your facility assignment, salary, etc. All of these activities will take place during one day. This is an all-day event.

PEPCs are planned for the following cities during the weeks indicated.

· July 7 – July 11 New York City, NY
· July 21 – July 25 Memphis, TN
· August 11 – August 15 Chicago, IL

No specific locations have been identified and the dates could change slightly, depending on demand and on facility availability.

We cannot process everyone at the PEPCs that we are contacting. We will put you on a waiting list, in the order responses are received, and keep you informed of details as they become available. We will accept only as many people as we can accommodate for each PEPC. Others will be processed in the “non-PEPC process” (see below). We will give you feedback on your individual situation.

You are being contacted even if the address we have is not near one of the PEPC locations since you may have relocated. If you do not live near one of the scheduled PEPCs, you are welcome to travel to one if that is what you would like to do. However, all travel costs incurred will be at your own expense.

You may elect to continue with the non-PEPC process. If so, we will schedule you to interview at a location near where you live. If you successfully complete the interview and are recommended, the Aviation Careers Division will provide you with the information required to schedule the remaining pre-employment processing steps.

Please be advised that this may or may not be faster than waiting until a PEPC is scheduled near you. Also, employment offers are made based on available class schedules. Classes are normally filled several months in advance. Once you have completed your pre-employment processing, either through the PEPC or the non-PEPC process, you will be considered for available classes.

This is what you need to do.

1. Respond to this email and let us know if you are still interested in the position as identified in the first paragraph.
2. Tell us if you would like to attend one of the PEPCs and, if so, which one. Please choose only one.
3. OR, tell us you would like to be interviewed near your home.
4. Check the contact information listed above (address, phone number, email address) and provide any corrections.

Once you respond, we will either schedule you for an interview near your home or put you on our waiting list to be advised when the PEPC you identify is ready to schedule appointments. At that time, you will receive detailed information and forms to complete prior to your arrival. We will also communicate any updates as necessary.

Remember, the earlier you respond to this message, the better opportunity you will have to attend a PEPC. Please respond by email no later than June 27, 2008.
