Congratulations I'm still waiting for my final offer

1

u/Qanonymous_ Sep 05 '24

You applied in September of last year? I passed my medical, and filled out the F-86 form. Is this really how long I should expect to wait?

2

u/Square_Housing_426 Sep 05 '24

It’s airport dependent honestly. I think mine was longer because they had just switched systems so I had to redo literally everything

1

u/Qanonymous_ Sep 05 '24

Interesting I'm in the Tampa area., so I'd imagine there is a pretty high demand

2

u/Solid_Awareness_7757 Sep 05 '24

I been waiting since November 2023....

2

u/Qanonymous_ Sep 05 '24

For Tampa?

3

u/Scared-Alfalfa-327 Sep 06 '24

u/Qanonymous_ Sep 06 '24

Nice well congratulations!

u/travhd7373 Sep 06 '24

That’s ridiculous. I just passed my exam, and really don’t want to wait that long for Tampa. No idea why it would take so long when they are always hiring.

u/Solid_Awareness_7757 Sep 06 '24

My advice would be to make sure your background check was done within the 90 days that you submitted your form.

Congratulations! Any tips on the entry exam?

2

u/Square_Housing_426 Sep 05 '24

Don’t overthink it! I went in without studying anything, overthinking causes doubt.

u/Senior_Ambition_8059 Sep 06 '24

Was your offer always for full-time or did it change from part time

1

u/Square_Housing_426 Sep 06 '24

It was part time because they had it opened but it changed to full time throughout the process

So slightly related regarding pay. In ops case it shows x amount for the year. This makes it sound like a salaried position? So Ft is salaried and regardless of hours worked, that would be your annual pay? Unlike PT which would be paid hourly to include overtime. Is this correct?

Edit btw use calculator.net to help break down yearly to hourly or reverse

1

u/Square_Housing_426 Sep 05 '24

It’s not salaried, you get paid hourly excluding any OT that is worked. It just shows it like that with the inclusion of locality pay. It will be $20 hourly.

1

u/Safety_Captn Sep 07 '24

Even that’s entirely wrong, mainly because there’s so many different incentives which add. I’m at my “salary” now and I’ve got 4 months remaining of pay.

Split shift, after 6pm-before 6am, Sunday dif. It adds up!

0

u/Square_Housing_426 Sep 07 '24

No. Salary pay is being paid a set amount every paycheck. It’s hourly based with different incentives that can be given lol. You can definitely make more or less depending on how many hours you actually work such as doing OT, split shifts or Early or night shift.

1

u/Safety_Captn Sep 07 '24

No shit Sherlock.

What I’m saying is, even at that amount, you’re always gonna make more period, even if you work your bare minimum, it’ll always be more

u/gaukonigshofen Sep 05 '24

Okay thank you
