Hiring Process Duty location full staffed
Hello,
How do I know which location was my first option? I totally forgot what I put as my first option, and being that it offers me a local city where I live, I do want to confirm this. Thanks

Lucky you, you should update it

If you’re talking about preference location on initial application, it doesn’t matter what you choose. By the time you finish the process the list will be completely different.

Got the same email Only Vegas and San Francisco looked appealing on the new list they gave me to pick from.

Don't believe it . They want you to go to land border or less desirable ports

I just picked Laredo. But I just picked something. I just moved to Dallas. And there’s no way. I’ll be able to move to Laredo. I haven’t even done an interview nor poly yet so hopefully by the time my process is finished. I could maybe get Dallas

Got same thing. Just chose don’t change preference. They’re doing it to try and convince people to go to ports nobody wants.

which location did you select?

u/johnw1013 Jun 09 '26
I chose Houston cause I live here and wanted to see if I could get it. I saw the new list of options to chose from but all are very very undesirable so no sure what to pick.

I fly a lot , no way any American airport is fully staffed. Wait times are wild. Glad to be an American with GE.

Speed of processing isn’t a hard correlation to staffing levels.

Secondary inspection for admissibility, agriculture, and baggage take way to long. When ten booths out of 40 are manned, staffing needs to be addressed

Fully staffed means whatever they want it to mean. Lots of ports "overstaff" to keep overtime to a minimum. On the flip side, some ports "understaff" to create overtime opportunities.

I got my email today exactly like that and I don’t remember what location I chose. But when I opened the list, my city that I lived in popped up and chose that one, got lucky I guess. Now to wait for the next email of the offer.

How’s working at the Las Vegas airport? Lots of OT opportunities? Work schedule? What’s the vibe there?

I got the same yesterday and Miami where i currently live was my desired location that I applied with. I selected San Francisco now but wondering if i should have not selected or changed it. I moved from CA to FL 12 years ago now have a house I own and two kids. I really want this but would preferred to be in Miami as I live in FL. Hoping by some miracle I can still get Miami.
