Do these on-line apps get kicked automatically say if you didn't have your first class, or does a real person look at them? It just kinda blew my mind that someone with 600hrs might be considered to have better credentials to fit their needs that someone with 3,600hrs.
I don't know if the apps are actually looked at or weeded out by a computer. All the more reason to get that First Class Physical. It might have been an oversight or your lack of First Class Physical kicked it out. At any case, I think if you get your Physical and the ATP written and reapply, you WILL get the interview unless there is something in your application that raises a RED flag. Now is a great time to get on board at Mesaba so get it going.
