Good luck! From what I understand (and I may be wrong), it will be transfer hiring first, then captain, then fae, so engineer calls might be late in the week or beginning of next week.
Good luck . Hope everyone gets picked up who ranked

Anyone get any calls? Which units if any?
Well I know someone from rank 3 with no prior FAE time who got a perm offer today so rank definitely doesn’t matter
Do you know which units?
I know 2 FAE jobs perm one from rank 2 and one from 3.
Which units?
Offers from BTU and LNU
Rule of 3 applies, but with only 3 ranks, all three ranks are eligible. So it comes down to a combination of the written score and the score they gave you for your resume. I would imagine those that had FFA & COA got the most educational points and thus got the most points for their resume. It makes sense because the dept has already paid for those people to attend the 14 weeks of training required to become a FAE. Next would be those that are Perm FF2 having attended FFA and thus only needing 7 weeks of COA to become a FAE. I personally know of people getting hired out of rank 3 but they had both FFA & COA. Have also heard of medics who have FFA geting jobs, but they still require COA.
I don’t think this round of hiring is done yet so good luck. Keep an eye on then proposed budget that is being released tomorrow. Rumor is another 54 engines spread out over 5yr.
GOOD LUCK!

Shoot fingers crossed! No call yet. The nervous mental breakdown starts.
FF1 with no FFA or COA,LT time or additional certs hired perm rank 3. So the points thing isn’t making sense.

What in the world…
That’s what I said. Not sure how that happened. Maybe back to the “who you know” system?
