    Sorry for the thread hijack.  Aren't they offering age waivers for UPT (especially if prior Nav)?  Anyone hear the ages picked up?  37,38,40??

    I have seen and heard of Navs at UPT as captains and Majors. I think it depends if your unit wants to go to bat for you and do the paperwork

    In the Guard, we received guidance that title 32 technicians are not covered by the freeze and we are hiring. Title 5 civilians are covered and AFPC says we should not expect any hiring until fall of this year.

    Interesting. Do Reserve technicians fall under title 5 ?

    Does anyone know, since I was a UFT graduate before 1 Dec 16, will I still have the normal prog tour or will it go straight to the temp art deal(which I would have to chose to do)?

    Havent really gotten a straight answer from my unit, I honestly don't think they know much about it just yet. Just wondering if anyone had gotten back to their units or heard anything new about it. FYI legacy Herc unit

    Thanks for the response. I graduated end of June, yea it seems interesting tho. Basically I'm trying to figure out if I should start looking at regionals/other FO flying gigs once my prog tour runs out or not.

    Question regarding the new temp-Art deal:

     

    As a very recent UPT graduate, I will not finish my FTU for a few months, will I have to ask my unit for a baby art job? Or is it kind of implied that I will "get one if I want" based off of this memo? 

     

    my my question is, does it depend on how bad the unit wants to fight for one of these jobs for new studs on their prog tour or is it thought of as a sure thing?

    The houses aren't that bad. But you should not accept anything less than a 3 bedroom 2 bath floor plan. granted the third bedroom is kinda small, it's not that bad. They are starting to replace all of the older floors with now hardwood style linoleum which is pretty sharp. It's common to have to wait a few weeks at least in TLF until your house gets ready.
