Thought I'd at least stay in the application process. Oh well..
"Thank you for expressing interest in the position of First Officer. Unfortunately, you have not been selected to continue on in the selection process. This is not a reflection on the quality of your credentials; but rather, it reflects the extremely high level of competition for this particular job."
Are you from Horizon? Did you meet with anyone at a career day? There are a number of things that can trip you up. It's best to just move on and be satisfied that you are probably not a good fit with the culture of the airline. That could be total BS but sometimes you just have to move on.

I just flew with a guy involved in the screening of resumes and applications. He scoffed when I floated the notion of doing away with the college requirement. I think they are likely to reduce the PIC turbine requirement long before college.
