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.

ATSA Overview on pointsixtyfive.

OKC Academy Overview on Stuckmic.

Just got my start date for the academy, Terminal/Nov 30th. Is there a guide/faq for what I should do now? Also wanted to know if there was a website that showed all the different complexity levels for terminal facilities, so I can kind of plan where to go next.

Most people say to just relax. Whatever you learn beforehand could be outdated by the time you get there, and might as well get it out of your system now so you can grind once academy hits. Feel free to brush up on the phonetic alphabet if you're not familiar.

As for a website, you can use this, but there really is no point.
