It's not the process. They're just rude. I received a similar response about changing specialty.
I'm sure they get the same question everyday.

If you're in any kind of customer service position, you're going to get the same questions everyday. It's no excuse for being a jerk. The fact is they have let people switch in the past, so it's a legitimate question.
They haven't let people switch in years. The only people that switched are people that were asked to voluntarily switch by hr because they needed to fill classes.
Everyone should just let HR do their job. No one has switched in years and if you look at the forums you can see that. If you are sending multiple emails then you probably are slowing them down because they will have to look at your file twice and chances are you aren't the only one who sent more than one email.

If asked by hr to fulfill agency needs. You cant switch just because you want to.
Not as you may be imagining it. They weren't allowing people to switch if they requested it. The swaps were offered since one of the training routes (enroute or terminal, can't remember) had an instructor shortage and class backlog. To keep classes going, they let a very small number of people change tracks. Completely random if you got offered this.
No, they requested people switch to fill the agency need. They didn't just have random people call up and grant switching.
Pretty sure HR has nothing to do with what specialty you get. I think when they are selecting people at the ATO they just go down the list and give 1 person enroute and the next terminal so its fair.
It was never stated you could. The point I made was they let people switch. You inferred incorrectly that it was because people wanted to. My point was if HR let people switch in the past, (regardless of why) they shouldn't get sour when new applicants ask.
Just wait after you already have the position then retrain.
That's what my dad told me if I wanted term.

I'm happy to send you the email if you'd like to see it, SK. Their tone is horrible in emails, but I will say the lady who returned my call was very nice, so I know it's not all of HR. My HR rep stated (and I'm putting it nicely) to take it or leave it. Which is cool with me. Fortunately, I'm in a position to "leave it". But considering many of their applicants have put their lives on hold for this job for years, it shouldn't kill them to be decent human beings and answer questions without being "short" (as the above poster mentioned).
