We’re so fortunate to receive interest from many qualified candidates for the limited number of positions we have available. Unfortunately, you did not receive an invitation to interview from the June 2018 hiring window, Job# 23910. You are welcome to reapply during the next hiring window. Please keep your profile updated on our Pilot Credentials page.

Kind of weird though because the email today says I wasnt selected in the June 2018 hiring window, even though Ive applied during every open window and my job submittals show I applied in March, and then not again until August and then September. Maybe I missed a window? Who knows.
I have 6 job submittals and these are the only 2 times Ive received an email like this.
