Some updated news.
I heard today that the FAA Flight Inspection was operating under what was referred to a 'continuing resolution'. This person didn't know how that might affected the hiring situation at the present moment, but currently he suspected that it meant that until they have some FIRM numbers for people leaving that the hiring process might be slower compared to past timelines.

And such is life these days, oh well, I hope things pick up faster for all of us. But until then, enjoy the dinners with family and the drinks with friends before life starts to get busier for all of us again.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to determine if my husband's application is as it should be. He applied to a DC position and wasn't referred. He applied for the FAA openings that are still posted back in October, maybe, but that doesn't close until Sept. 2010. I wish I had seen that opening that was 30 days. He's a 10-point 30% vet, 21 years flying heavy jets (B-1, JSTARS, KC135), 5200 hours, can't remember his PIC and instruction hours--he was a military flight instructor for years. Was laid off last summer after flying Lear 35s for a year. Anyhow, just wondering how this process goes. I'm the researcher/secretary, can you tell? Ha ha!

Well, I thought it might be a stretch to go back to college. My thought is that a lot of the positions in desirable areas like ATL are going to go to some internal transfer and you have to work your way up to the bigger cities. I worked in TV and that is how it was for us. Good luck and thanks for your responses.

Feel free to PM me if you like. I'll be happy to answer any questions your husband might have if I can. I'm learning the process as I go along like the rest of us.
