I’ve got an interview coming up in Kamloops in a week for the FSS/FIC. Have you already done yours and just waiting for an offer?

I am so happy to find someone in a similar boat ! interesting tho that they confirmed your preference first and then interviewed for that position...for me I had the in person interview first and then it showed FIC as my stream...fingers crossed we end up in the same class...would be cool to have a study buddy for all the pre-course stuff!

Let me know how the interview goes!!

Hey Lisa,
when do you find out whether you're AAS or FIC? Do they tell you in the initial offer or do you get told later in training?
If you're Airport Advisory, do they tell you where you'll be placed or is that a 'wait and see' thing?
Good luck in training!

Hey there! I was specifically streamed FIC....It said that on the take charge website after I got the 2nd interview results. Also when I got the course offer paperwork the course was called FIC. At the in person interview they said that while they try to keep their candidates in BC that there was the possibility of being places anywhere in the country....I told them that while that was certainly not a deal breaker that I would prefer staying in the province. Not sure if that had anything to do with my placement or not. They also said that placement may not be decided until near the end of the classroom portion but that where you got sent for your on the job training would be where your job was assuming you qualify!

Thanks for the reply Lisa,
If you've been streamed FIC, does that not mean you'd based in Kamloops? I thought FIC = 'Flight Service Specialist - Kamloops' and AAS was 'Flight Service Specialist AAS'?
So you'll be staying in Kamloops for OJI and from then on or no?
I've been streamed VFR, but was told that I might receive a call for FSS if that's a bigger priority at the time.
Good luck Lisa!

Yup my job would be in kamloops after training. The aas folks could go anywhere and may not find out their placement until the end of the classroom training. They are running both courses at the same time this october, not sure if tgats always tge case or not.
