OCC 190 acceptance (merged)

[gringo]

I still haven't heard anything yet....Should i be worried?

West coast here, got selected for aviation slot (NFO). Good luck to everyone!

I feel like weak, dumb loser who'll never make to OCC after saw this thread (aiming for Jan 07)

nebulae i was offered an nfo slot as well, along with ground, but for pilot i was told that there were no slots available or it was really full. East coast guys however didn't seem to have a problem attaining selection........

 

[gringo]

Yeah i found out today I am in for pilot!

 

[Nebulae]

Congrats gringo!

Trev82....
Do they always have the east coast board meet first? Or do they alternate...cause that sucks if the west coast always gets the last pick for the slots like that.

Accepted!

Hey I just found out the other day that I got OCC 190 and an NFO slot. I was pulling for my 1 point waiver to go through for a pilot slot but thanks to the slim pickings it had no chance. Guess applying at TBS for any open slots is the only way to go for pilot. Congrats all!

Best of luck on that, I have begun to hear rumors from TBS that they don't want NFOs to convert their contract to NA...specifically "a contract is a contract" but best of luck at OCS and worry about that later...

OCC-190 NFO selected

Was selected for OCC -192 on an Air Contract. Was the best feeling I had in a long time. Then I had to take a 5-chapter exam. I could not remember a thing, so stoked about getting in. I was wondering if anybody else herd back yet though it was the first board for the class

They'll let NFO's transfer if they are lucky enough to be one of the 4-5 that get the SNA slots available for ground assignables, but they don't do the "everyone who's qualified can have one" like they did I think it was for Alpha this year. The *contract is a contract* comes from NFO's getting PRK and switching to SNA, they won't let it happen, at least not prior to hitting training.

Pre-selected for 191!

Define "Pre-selected".

My OSO said the board is starting to select people a class in advance. Its going to be the new way to do things for OCC eventually. It means he is guaranteed a slot in 191.
