    After an unpleasantly long process I’ve finally accepted a vehicle operator job for ATO starting in October. I’ve been trolling this board forever so I thought I would give some thanks to everybody for the information

    Well, congratulations!
     
    So, you’re a shuttle driver?

    I add my congratulations.  Not that I am bias, but ATO is a good group to work for and shuttle driver is a good position.

    Just like a janitor is a ‘sanitation engineer’, and a dining assistant is a ‘culinary gopher?’

    I once went to a college where the janitors were called “CET’s” short for College Environmental Technicians.
    Thanks for the congratulations. The only downside I see is that it’s only a 6 month gig and ATO disappears in the winter so there’s no chance of getting it extended.

    The normal summer season is from October to February.  Sorry, that’s only four months.

    You’re kind of a negative nancy.
    Not to mention Oct 1 to Feb 22 is 6 days short of 5 months. So we were both wrong

    Just remember once you’re in the circle its easier to get other jobs.

    Congrats
    Don’t fret the short season too much. You are in a wideranging department. It covers both ATO and Supply under the same management chain. You’ll have a lot of experience around the airfields and contact with the people who hire the cargo handler. If you don’t move on, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard anyone complain about being a shuttle driver. You drive some pretty awesome vehicles that will make your friends jealous.

    To really impress your friends, you have to drive a nodwell!

    When the Nodwell is mentioned, I think of the song, ‘Slip Sliding Away’…

    Yes, you’ll impress all the FNG chicks.
     
    They won’t be able to get enough of its massive slowness, rough-riding seats, and interior climatic uncertanties.
