here is a separate post for all us "rejects" from pubnat 2.....

me, like a loser has applied to every single open app except for pubnat 3, so the torture and waiting continues.....

so where does everyone else stand? was this the only announcement? which ones did you apply to?

ranting raving cursing screaming is 100% tolerated and expected....let the griping begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain...completely understand...when I was getting out of the military in 2003, I was applying to work overseas with Midwest ATC...I found out the FAA was also hiring so submitted my information with them as well. I got my application in on time but they wanted a copy of my DD-214. I didn't think to get it right when I got out and just have it mailed. I was supposed to have it Fed-Ex'd to me the day after I got out as I went to the admin office myself the day prior to me exiting and, like they told me to, gave them a paid and addressed Fed-Ex envelope for my DD-214. Well...being the good admin guys like they were, they didn't put it in the Fed-Ex envelope and instead sent it out like everyone else's. It took six weeks to get it and by that time, the FAA couldn't do anything and stopped hiring, and said they couldn't wait on it.

Anyways...the FAA was on a hiring freeze from 2003 to...I think beginning of 2006. It took me 3.5 years of waiting to get hired. Luckily I got a contract tower job in the mean time, but just to have missed out like that was so frustrating.

Just hang in there....we've all been through the long long wait. You'll get it eventually!

I'm here too... don't really want to be

Next panels are in January, which will be for PUBNAT3... still keeping my fingers crossed that they'll include PUBNAT4 in those panels, otherwise it's going to be an even longer wait...

So what's all your guy's plans in the mean time?

I figure while I'm waiting, I may pursue flying. That was my biggest pull to aviation anyway. I've always wanted to be a pilot, but never wanted to fork out thousands of dollars to something with very little return in the beginning stages of a career.

None the less, I figure I can at least start with my private ticket.

I wish I knew... I graduated college in May and I had a job throughout college. I had to leave that job in September since I was no longer a student. I figured that would work out fine for me if I was selected this time around

Now... not a clue...
