I just retired after getting reinstated in 4/2002.....I was not selected off any "list." I wrote a letter to Rick Day who was ASO-500 at the time and he allowed me to be reinstated at STT.

I later transferred to HWD and retired in 12/07.

Don't do it is my advice. Do not go back in there if you have a viable alternative. If you do opt to give it a try just know that its not like it was by any stretch of the imagination. Management is just as disgusting as it ever was....perhaps worse. The controllers are all in it for themselves and are not team players. This is based on the two facilities at which I worked "the second time around."

All I can tell you in closing is CYA. Good luck.
