They did a mass hire last summer. (Switched from contractor positions to GS positions). Don't know if/when they will hire again. Don't know the figures, but I imagine 95% of the contractors were re-hired. There were probably a few morts due to about a $15K pay cut for working for Uncle Sam vice the contractor...
If you don't have AETC instructor stink, good luck. 5000 hours, 14 years instructor with over 2000 hours instructor not good enough....didn't even get a telephone interview....Made the alternate list, but never got a call....
