Thnx as always 63..Keep us posted since it seems like those in the know are not in the know anymore...

E D · Senior Member

Any new Info? Pretty quiet for a possible large promotion next week? What's the deal with mentoring? Are they still doing it for Captains? Seems like they have gotten away from it, or am I mistaken

rookiebit_h · Guru

Heard something similar.

Tommy Salami · Senior Member

Does anyone know what number they are up to

E D · Senior Member

I believe they promoted up to and including #90

96Times6 · Senior Member

#94, Sadia Smith is the next one to get promoted. They had a couple of people skipped the last class.

Tommy Salami · Senior Member

Thanks

Thats a big number. Anyone have an update on this ? I cant see the job promoting at a time like this.

Agreed. If 12hr tours comes to fruition, we should see an exodus after the dust settles...

Dude23 · Member

I think it might happen. If the job has the vacancys and they are promoting Sgts anyway then why not promote captains. If they are anticipating a large number of cops going sick there is a chance that a large number of captains might become sick. If that happens and they have vacancies it only makes things worse so promotions might makes sense.

E D · Senior Member

The job will go on, promotions and all With or without covoid-19 .

I agree, but the problem is now that the economy is in the toilet and everyone lost a ton of money i dont see anyone retiring any time soon In the next couple years. Just my opinion and not good for any promotional lists.

E D · Senior Member

You dont loose money in your 457/401 until you cash out.
Once you retire you can not contribute anymore but the money stays there and will come back WHEN the market rebounds.
That is why you plan your deferred comp NOT on when you plan to leave the job but when you plan to start taking withdrawals.
Your retirement year should have nothing to do with your deferred comp it's your anticipated date of taking cash out that matters.
I can retire tomm even though I just lost a ton, because I dont plan on touching that money for years.

Correct !!! Which is why the ITHP & 50/50 are so valuable. Your pension and those contributions in particular, aren't effected by the volatility of the market.

Indeed! its sad that this job doesn't educate its members on financial literacy, making them dependent on the locker room financial advisers...

There wont be an exodus of captains and above regardless of when/if 12 hour tours take effect. Nobody really does the comp time/exchange anyway. Its a rip off. The max you can add to your pension that way is 100 hours a year straight time which is peanuts. So I cant see executives running out the door because they had a great year. Cops, Sgt and Lts maybe.

Are promotions canceled for Friday? I had heard a rumor about doing it via video conference? But that was before this Corona got so out of hand.

Looking at a 25 person class w no bmoc. Very tentative

JustWonderin · Guru

Heard ID card pic notifications started going out. Can anyone confirm?

NewUser · Senior Member

Friend of mine said 30 or so lts getting promoted next week. Also mentioned a captains class going in too. (# unknown) Both will have a short Bmoc class. Assuming no mentoring either.

Bigguy69 · Senior Member

Yes, many notification came down today for ID card pics. I just got the email to report for captain promotional paperwork on the 28th.

What number they get up to?

Finest should come down today. 94 is next up but according to my records there are still 4 Passovers. Not sure if any of them are getting promoted this round. If its 25 with no Passovers that should bring us to 119. 116 is already a Captain.

3testwonder · Senior Member

Finest is posted on Elite website ;)
