Probation

Irish Rookie Ohio

I have completed my federal probationary period as a civilian controller in the DoD. Just curious if I'll have to go through another probationary period in the FAA or will I be off probation?

Thank you

You do know that the 1st year in DoD is Probationary, then you are Career Conditional thru year 2 and 3, and only after your 3rd year anniversary do you become Permanent. Not sure how that would effect you going into the FAA if you are under 3 years DoD....

You do not have to serve a probationary period again. I don't know about the career conditional 3 year thing...FAA is an excepted service, so, I don't think it applies.

Not in the FAA....

As those above have stated "NO", the FAA tried to fire a developmental who they claimed had not completed his probationary time, and NATCA took it to arbritration and won because the individual had been a DOD controller for 3 or so.
