I took the test 10/26 in SLC. I had no idea of how I did till I got my score. I wasn't very confident. Kind of felt like I dropped the ball in a few places. But somehow I managed a 100. I think I must have done really well on the more heavily weighted sections. From what I hear actual hiring is one to two years out anyway. Good luck to all.

The FAA hires 'em... sends 'em to OKC for some schoolin'... then ships 'em back to the facility for us to train 'em. Training time through AUS Tower and TRACON has been averaging 2 - 3 years.

Ya you should have read a bit more, it talks about PUBNAT8, and how thats open to the public, and how we all applied and took the ATSAT and are waiting on GEOPREF emails and the board to meet, but nothings moving.

Most of these kids have NEVER had a job.
