Bidding
As Amy noted in her facility update this afternoon, bidding for CPCs will commence on Monday, Oct. 18. We will again be using the bidATC website . In preparation for bidding, please visit bidATC and verify that you’re able to log in. Please also verify that your notification method is up-to-date, depending on whether you want to be emailed or texted when it’s your turn to bid. Let me know if you encounter any problems.
As a reminder: During Round 1 of annual-leave bidding, you get to bid one or two consecutive or non-consecutive weeks of leave. On bidATC, make sure you select “add another week” between your first week and second week. (The common mistake that people have made in the past is that they’ve clicked on the button to finalize their bid after selecting their first week, which will only give you the single week while simultaneously moving on to the next person. Don’t let that happen to you!)
Trainee bidding
Once the CPC bidding is complete I will sit down with our OM and negotiate the lines that the trainees will be bidding. Trainees will bid once that has happened. If you’re a trainee, I’ll keep you apprised of the specific dates for bidding as we get closer.
Area refresher volunteers
I need two volunteers to help with our 2022 area refresher training. (If you’re thinking, “I thought we just had our area refresher training,” your reaction is the same as mine was.) This gets scheduled on a yearly basis, and they’ve scheduled our 2022 edition for Jan. 10-14. Let me know if you’re interested.
TR-2
The remaining TR-2 scopes are scheduled to be installed in the area over a week-and-a-half period starting on Nov. 5. Please continue to advise me of any issues that you run into with the new scopes or if you see anything in the horse-collar area that needs to be corrected (the YYJ approach frequency, for example, has been updated).
Certifications
Congratulations to Kevin Brothers for getting certified on R01 and R31, as well as Jared Fenton on D3 and D12.
New controllers
We recently added two new academy graduates to the A Area. Their names are Luke Bradley and Kyle Moore.
In solidarity,
Dan Rasmussen
