Well I’ve been procrastinating on this update because I’m terrible at goodbyes and it’s most likely a good thing. As all of you should know by now, the bid is being held up to due a Article 46 solicitation to move to the B area. Over the past month I have put the finishing touches on our guides and schedule as well as bringing Jared up to speed on everything going on behind the scenes. Now that my work is done with the schedule, Jared is fully in charge of the area. In preparation for online bidding, you can go to http://bidatc.com/zse#/register and create your account. You be asked for your member number and birthday. You will then be directed to choose your communication method either via text or email. When asked for your initial, it is referring to your operating initials. Once you are done with this you will be ready to bid. As the system is new to the facility, you will be contacted by a rep or designee when you are up to bid.
So with 2 weeks left, I’m going to enjoy my time working in the area. I want to thank everyone who trained me as a CPC-IT. I learned a lot and hope I leave here a better controller. I’m going to miss ZSE, the A area, and the PNW. If you find yourself in Cleveland for any reason (it really isn’t that bad), you have my contact information.
Lastly I want to thank everyone for having the confidence in me to represent you over the past 2 years. I hope I did not disappoint you as I always thought of the area as a whole when making decisions. I hope to see familiar faces at NATCA events in the years to come.
In solidarity,
Brooke
