ATSAT Fun

Word on the street is that I'm not going to be able to take the ATSAT this spring. One of my classmates called the FAA to check to see if his name was registered with them to take it this month (it's April already?), and they didn't find it. Guess whose name was right below his on the list? Yep, yours truly.

We'll see how it goes, but Mt. SAC students that signed up last semester are taking it in about two weeks. I highly doubt that the FAA is going to rush out appointment letters to the rest of us. Ugh.

Back in early February when the FAA told Mt. SAC to come up with a roster of students graduating before June 30th in order to sign up for the ATSAT, they gave no deadline. However, it seems as though it would have been in the students' best interest to get that list out to them quickly. Our fearless department chair sat on that list for a solid month, putting it off week to week, before sending it out. Just great.
