Was this similar to what you received? Do they still give the offer based on the results of the review board, because you are not hired until that silly board gives you a once over.
If it didnt say re apply at some point they may have found something they dislike in your record so yah, like these other cats are saying you should take a look for yourself and you might find a couple surprises.
Cheers.
No, mine didn't even say reapply in 6 months. I have only been pulled over about 3 times in my life (I'm 30) and I only received one speeding ticket (about 9 years ago).
I even pulled my full pilot record last year and examined everything with a fine tooth comb. Nothing. No failed checkrides, no failed stage checks, no failed written, nothing.
It's funny because when I originally applied to Eagle back in October 2010, they didn't even give me an interview. I went on to start my own Internet company that has since made me a decent chunk of change since then, and my latest application to Eagle was actually auto applied by airline apps last April or May.
I had been dodging Eagle for months about an interview before I even responded, and I did so with the intent of just gaining the interview experience. It wasn't til I got to the interview before I really decided to get back into aviation, and that Eagle would be a great fit. Now I remember why I left, it's just one disappointment after the next.
