From what I see, you’re not gonna **** them off. Our most recent hire was the chief instructor at a local school. Every time he was in the facility he made a point of letting the office manager know he was interested.

Overtime can depend on the office, some managers are fairly approving, some are more judicious. This gets to be more of an issue at the 14 level (and maybe 13 step 5 if I remember correctly), which is exempt, where you are not guaranteed overtime for hours you work over, management can give you either overtime OR comp time. Below those grades, you can get either at your request. It's not common to be working much over/comp time in the first year, except for travel to OKC.

Overtime rules are often misunderstood (and mis-applied). Anytime the overtime is “regularly scheduled”, that is it was or reasonably should have been known prior to the start of the administrative workweek, then it MUST be paid overtime, regardless of your FLSA status. If it was irregular overtime...think of this as pop-up or unscheduled overtime...like an 8-hour observation flight that extends to 10-hours...then management may choose to renumerate an FLSA-Exempt employee with compensatory time rather than paid overtime. An FLSA-Non Exempt employee has the choice in this scenario.

I heard back in about 3 weeks. Application to start date is about 4-5 months if you are 135/121 current. Don’t be afraid to follow up with the local.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I am 121 current and check all the boxes for the qualifications. How do you find out where the openings are? USAjobs.gov has a posting but it simply says multiple locations. I live in the ATL area and would prefer that although I would consider a PCS for a year. I know they rate you as FG-9-12 Step 5 depending on background. Do you know if you get credit for military time.
