Burger Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Got a reject letter from Oregon yesterday early afternoon. So y'all that have not received emails yet, that is probably a good thing! Edited February 17, 2019 by Burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to a heavy unit in the east coast. Look into the A-10s st Whiteman in Missouri. I got picked up last year and I I’ve been told there are a lot fewer applicants than we had last year.

Tommy Boy Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I will give it a shot. Do you know if they're entertaining age waivers? I just turned 30.If I remember correctly, whiteman said they do not expect to run age waivers on their bogidope posting but I’d still apply! I’d be a liar if I said I haven’t been in interviews where a post-30 dude got the job after the unit said they don’t do waivers. You never know man don’t give up!Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be an off-the-street applicant, so it may be a little difficult, but I’m only 22 and fly for a regional airline so perhaps I have a chance. How do they know that there won’t be as many applicants this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they actually may have pushed the board back a ways too so I’d ask about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesperateApplicant Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I've heard of "cascading" invites for interviews. Has anyone gotten an interview invite since friday night from Oregon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRobot Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 @DesperateApplicant I doubt it, unless folks really bomb the initial interview screening. If most folks got invited, it was probably due to a great application and having a great attitude/fit in the unit. Remember, this is just speculation... so I can very well be proven wrong. Either way, great group of folks and best of wishes for those folks that got interviewed! Still plenty of other slots and I'm definitely going to gun for those A-10 slots!

I reached out to Blitz cause I'm pretty close to the cut-off as well and he said the age waiver is unlikely... But I can't agree more with @Tommy Boy just throw your application out there!

(Pun intended) Yeah, I'm hoping for an alternate interview slot or just hoping that all haven't been sent yet!

DesperateApplicant Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 No word, probably running behind on schedule. I'll also assume that Oregon has sent out all of their interview invites. Congrats to those who got it, if anyone wants to give me their interview slot I'll gladly take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I PMed the pilot who posted on Reddit a few weeks ago and they said they're doing visits in March when they return from deployment. Been quiet for a while though, I imagine they're incredibly busy right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
