Please look at your magnetic compass. If it reads 9, please break off your approach. That was the last he said about it. I understand that only the best controllers get selected for OSH duty No. Anybody from the Great Lakes region, and only that region, is eligible. That's the only criteria.

Jim...
The operative word here is "eligible". The statement is true on its face -- only Great Lakes region controllers are eligible. However, being "eligible" and being "selected" are two totally different things. I am "eligible" to pitch for the Red Sox this year. My chances of being selected are slim.

Just curious; where did you get that information? I worked at GFK for 4 years. Every January the bid for OSH comes out. Anybody interested fills out the paperwork and sends it in. To say that only the best work at OSH is a joke. Same goes for Sun N Fun, only Southern region controlelrs need apply. It's a government boondoggle. Always has been. Out here in the West our boondoggle is fire towers.
