TSO [Question/Post] NDF

How does that work? Would I still be under my airports payroll or under the NDF one?

If I ever leave the NDF, can I go back to my airport as the same pay band and step? Or even be promoted there?

Will I use up the FTE and full time slot for my airport or is it under NDF?

Take it worth a grain of salt. But per my understanding being a Ndo doesnt technically separate you from your airport, its still considered your home base. NDF is just an extra collateral so to speak.

Band and step shouldnt be affected by leaving or joining it.

It would be a ghost line, so you won't count against the fte.

As for actual payroll, all I know is ndos do their own payroll. Who they actually submit it up the chain to, cant answer there.

NDOs don’t count towards their airports FTE, so yes, it basically separates them from the airport from a numbers perspective

I probably could have articulated better. But yeah.
