I just filled out the app for open hiring two weeks ago and was selected to take the AT-SAT. Can't wait to get this ball rolling even though i won't be graduating college till December.

It's cool seeing controllers on here and such. Any advice for this AT-SAT? It seems pretty self explanatory. I interned at ISP and ZNY so if all goes as planned I wouldn't mind starting up at ZNY or even goin' all out with N90 since I know I talk to the same guy on my 1300 flights and then hear him again combined freq. sometimes at 2200 or even later. From what I hear it sounds like they need people big time.

we had two mikes...not here anymore.   i'd say our washout rate is about 10-15%.  pretty good considering the airspace and traffic
