Are you an FAA approved housing provider? I would assume this new arrangement would limit to FAA approved providers only. I heard the reason for this change was issues with people trying to game the system and the shutdown. Essentially people rented houses or apartments and were held to their...

I've been told by a provider that the FAA is eliminating the self pay option effective 6/1. Essentially, no more pocketing extra per-diem. Use it or loose it now. Any official word from the FAA on this?

Offered this class on Monday. Figured I'd start a thread. I'm a holdover from the March 2015 bid, lets go!

As someone who has failed the Tier-2 (from the March 2015 bid)(for something far different) and then received an addition TOL (July 2017 bid) after failing the Tier-2, I can tell you that your medical past will come back and result in another disqualification. I finally got my Tier-2 DQ...

Nope. No DUI, no MIP. It's literally from my naivete and being probably the one person to ever be 100% honest on my drinking habits during college. Big punch to the nuts and a very expense lesson.

I'm waiting on adjudication of an appeal based off of a disqualification from 2 and a half years ago. Was found via Tier 2 to be "substance dependent". Lost my Aviators Class II medical. After going through a "HIMS like" process I regained my Class II medical back in November of 2017. Submitted...

INDEV does ZDV and ZLA at a minimum. ZBW is Penn Bay Media, ZNY is WCG, ZKC and ZAB are SAIC. Those are the ones I know of off my head. Regardless, RPOing is a fantastic stepping stone. You'll learn a lot.

I was under the impression that INDEV was the contractor at ZLC?

FYI... If you know that you'll be DQ'ed and need the help of a HIMS AME I would start random alcohol and drug monitoring ASAP. ATC medical requires two years of uninterrupted abstinence and proof of adequate "recovery". Remember, it's not about what you know to be true, but about what you can...

I've heard the FAA is looking for 5500 "qualified applicants" and may close the bid upon reaching this number vs. the bid being open for a specified number of days. Apply early, apply often...

What degree will help you more if you don't end up making the cut? There is a lot that can go wrong in the process to CPC. Weigh what degree will help you more.

I've seen from some people that only 400 or so will be accepted this time around.

Has anyone tried getting an extension on the CIL requirements? It is in my interest not to go to my physical until or after June 5th. My 90 day requirement date is June 7th. AME not able to meet until June 12th.

I just read through another page I follow that we have a spotting of another TOL being given out. The guy claims to have received his TOL yesterday. Let the speculation begin.

This was my first contact with them. Never got any links or anything. Guess my current clearance is sufficient.
