I only had two letters of rec and I have 3 FAA inital busts and a Oral failure in the 121. Could this be a reason as to why I was sent there or is this their nice way of saying "thanks but no thanks"
My understanding was that some CJOs as well as TBNT were given on the spot, the rest of us went to review board. I was told at multiple times by my prep service that having less than 500TPIC would for sure send me to review board, despite everything else being competitive. I also had a couple checkride hiccups along the way (but not 121 failures or extra time or special tracking).
Sure, the 121 blemish isn’t stellar but the way I look at it is like this. You obviously stood out enough for the invite to interview, and didn’t get a TBNT on the spot. I was told review board is typically Thursday, and I received the good news at end of business day on the Thursday following my interview. Hopefully yours is successful!
