Actually you were able to reapply, at least according to the email I got from the board, i applied last year and got selected for CSO, turned it down because I only want pilot, I had fully accepted the fact that I could not reapply until about mid-July I recieved an email out of the blue that they had put a blanket waiver in allowing individuals to reapply if they had turned down the board once before. So managed to speed an application through in about two weeks. My expectations are still low but hanging on to a small glimmer of hope.
