Any OTS referred for March/April panel yet?

Davo Trusted Contributor

I knew pub 8 was not going to be included this time around but will pub 7? Pub 7ers check ASAP, other applications have their referrals.

HR's made it pretty clear that OTS isn't going anywhere for the rest of the fiscal year.

When I called okc they told me that they were infact taking OTS people this panel. I've seen other posts where people said they got the same info, but i've also seen people who got the same info as the 2 above posts. I guess we'll find out soon enough

Well the info about there being no one getting a FOL until October is correct. The only way you will get a FOL is if you are from Pub1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 and your facility needs you for this year.

Did pubnat 7 get TOLs yet?

PUBNAT7 hasn't been considered by panels yet.

Vets from pub 7 were.

To be clear, does that mean that OTS ARE still going to be considered this fiscal year?

I thought they were VRA.

Looks like they may be looking at PUBNAT7 this panel, but I don't see them doing PUBNAT8 for a while, and certainly not opening any new PUBNATs for a long time. Here's the quote, so you can form your own opinion:

Hiring plans for FY10 have been drastically reduced to account for attrition well below projections and reduced traffic volume. ... ATO plans to cancel all general public hiring announcements and reschedule selection panels in FY10 to support the vastly reduced hiring plan.
