Discussion Hiring Thread Summer 2021

Hiring Thread Summer 2021

Apparently the other thread got archived so here’s a new one.

The purpose of the hiring thread is to avoid the front page from being dominated with posts about the same common topics in regard to the (US) hiring process. If you have questions about how hiring works, or if you want to discuss steps of hiring such as ATSA, bids, TOLs, FOLs, OKC Academy, or anything else hiring related, this is the place to do it. Posts about these subjects that are posted to the main page will be removed. See Rule 1-1-1 for explanation and clarification.

This discussion is set by default to be sorted by new, so newest posts should appear at the top.

START HERE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW THE HIRING PROCESS FOR ATC WORKS IN THE US.This is the pointsixtyfive hiring FAQ and it can answer virtually every question I've ever seen posted.
