Reinstatement Bid

acro Newcomer

Does anyone know how the FAA sets salary for the reinstatement bid if you weren't CPC prior to resigning and have been separated for more than a year? Here is the wording I found on the bid:

"Based on the new contract in effect October 1, 2009, salary will be set based on prior federal service, ATCS experience, previous rate and/or facility level. "

Does this mean I would get my old salary back and start at a D2 level? I've looked through the contract and can't find any mention of this except being started at AG rate. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Article 108, 4-E-2

E. A Re-entrant into the Terminal/En Route Option:

2. Developmental Air Traffic Controller Re-entrant: An individual who is not currently employed as an Air Traffic Controller by the Agency, but was previously a developmental controller in the Agency, is not required to attend the FAA Academy and is placed directly into a terminal/en route facility.

• For all developmental re-entrants that have been separated for more than one (1) year, the starting salary will be set at the Academy Graduate pay band.

• Former developmental controllers that have been rehired within one (1) year after voluntarily leaving the Agency will have their pay set at the minimum of the equivalent developmental stage prior to leaving.

That's what I was looking for, thanks. Looks like I'll be back at AG if I get selected.
