Long story short.

Applied last year as soon as I went over 1000 Turbine PIC when it was still a requirement.

Email for an interview, did prep with CTO, interviewed, thought it went well but got the TBNT email.

Two months later, I got another "Select interview date" email, which I did, and then was called after I had shortened an overseas ISR rotation to make the interview to tell me I was ineligible to interview and was called back by a computer glitch. As I was on my way to Dallas.

Almost a year has passed, no calls from anyone else.

I've spent many a night sitting in Afghanistan (where I am right now) wondering what the heck I did wrong.

Only thing I thought that I could have answered better was when I was asked if I had any mobilization orders coming up, and what I would do if I was mobilized. I was honest and said I was on the list to possibly go but it was looking like a conflict of interest with my current job so I was not likely to go.

Not sure that was a "Legal" question to be asked, but I wasn't going to lie. When I was part of interview teams for an oil company (Non Flying) asking about Reserve or Guard status was a big hairy no-no.

What is SWA looking for in round two if I get called back? I prepped, I thought it went well, so other than being truthful when asked about a Mobilization, I don't know what I did wrong. Maybe pick the morning session vs afternoon?

What I don't want to do is to get called, and then get waved off for a second time. That cost me probably $10,000 in lost work. I was willing to go back home early for a second shot, but I can't keep on having that happen.
