So, as the guy who started this thread, fast forward 8 months to this unfortunate circumstance. Obviously having been passed over IPZ, I knew the APZ wasn't happening. Sat down yesterday with the boss who informed me of the next the curve ball inbound...he had a paper with my mandatory date of separation for 31 Dec 2019.

Does anybody know if this is normal and everybody twice passed over will get this or might I see/hear something different in a few more days? I was reading that selective continuation takes place at the end of the promotion board and it's possible the two worst case scenarios could happen--"a) continuation is not offered to anyone deferred two times by the promotion board or, b) an individual eligible for continuation is not selected for continuation." So while it looks like this was the case, I have yet to get anything official sent directly to me!

I was really looking forward to preping for the airlines about a year from now...not now, today, when all I've done is browsed over the forums. When it rains it poors eh'. So much to do with so little time, where do I start?
