I just got assigned to IQTR today. I'm excited, but also concerned, because I've heard that this is the hardest class you could be assigned to. I'd eventually like to move to the Pheonix Tracon facility, but I'm not sure how difficult things are yet.

Is moving to a higher level facility just a natural part of progression as you get more comfortable with the job, or are level 11 and 12 facilities always going to be more extra stress than they are worth for your average Joe?

Any tips on what IQTR life in general would also be appreciated. Thank you guys!

Hey guys so I’m confused. I’m seeing people who were honest about using marijuana and have no problem when it comes to medical and then there’s other people who were honest and got DQ. Why is it so here and there? I’m nervous that I’m wasting so much time on a job I really want just for them to spit in my face and say I have an addiction for trying it 1 time, legally. I thought this would’ve been black and white but from what I’m seeing, it’s not. One person gets DQ when they haven’t smoked in 3 years and someone else makes it though even though they smoked once a year ago. I don’t get it.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere I just can’t find an answer. I just received my dates and am looking for housing but was wondering how it works. If a place is open and can take me do I need to send the FAA anything or does the landlord communicate with them? That’s the best way I can phrase it just not sure exactly what I need to do.
