Has anyone ever been hired on the CTO apps? I know it's usually us vet's that have them.. but seriously. Why do they advertise them? Seems like a waste!
CTO Apps..... Waste of time?
- Thread starter Caffeinated
- Start date
Just out of curiosity, since I'll be entering a CTO program soon, how often do they hire CTO? Twice per year similar to CTI? And, yes, I know nobody can predict what the FAA will do, but I'm curious what the trend has been.
No, there is no experience requirement for the CTO announcement, just that you have one.
Thats not true. They go back and forth. Sometimes that's a requirement and sometimes not. I'd have to pull the latest announcement up to check but it could have required the 52 weeks.
Just from my experience, in last four announcements including the one that just closed, you haven't needed a certain amount of experience, just a CTO with facility rating. Not to say that won't change in the future, that's just the trend right now. I guess I should have been more specific, oops.
I think you may have a pink card with no ratings, not a CTO with no ratings. I may be wrong but, I have a CTO and could not get it until actually being a "C"ertified "T"ower "O"perator meaning FD/CD/GC/LC qualifications (ratings).
