Also, how did you only get 190 pic in that first 500? Shouldn't everything after solo and multi be pic?

Those times were estimates, I apologize. My real times are a little different; 4240 total and 3970 SIC (Part 121). I was hired as a very low time F.O. and did not flight instruct, even though I have the ratings. I completed my CFI/II and was hired a week later at a regional carrier. This accounts for my low PIC time and the reason I asked about the requirement earlier.

Just got the TBNT letter less than 24hrs filling out the online app. I met all the required flight times. Oh well...

My two cents- if you really want to be here, go anyway and show them not only what they missed on your app, but how much you want it. I don't know if they're asking you to wait to re-apply, but I'd still go. If you've got issues other than the basic quals (check ride or legal stuff), I'd address those first.

Anyway would love to work here for the long term, especially if they open an east coast base.

I don't recall the app asking for failed checkrides.

A checkride fail is not disqualifying. I'd go to the job fair if I were you. Tactfully find out what may have turned them off initially and ask what you can do to make yourself more appealing. Depending on the feedback you get, tell them how much you want it, and ask for reconsideration. Worst case scenario is another TBNT. I'm thinking if you approach the situation with determination and professionalism, they'll be impressed and give you a shot. Nothing to lose!!!

I would definitely go. One failed ride shouldn't matter, especially if you can explain it (life stress, etc). As for the east coast base, it's when, not if. I've heard the Nov. class will all be based east of the Mississippi-maybe ChiTown short term, but my guess is IAD or CLE by Spring.

Best of Luck!
