Hello all... I posted this in the jetcareers forum as well but I just wanted to get your folks opinion.

Ive been trying and trying to get hired at a decent regional. Ive been following the industry for quite awhile and now that things are looking up a bit I am excited to possibly get hired.

My qualifications are: 1610 TT 250 ME 1100 turbine (caravan), IFR current, ATP written, current 135 freight job etc etc.. almost done with the 4 year degree.

Well over the past few weeks or so Ive been following AE and decided that I would really like to work there.. especially with the reduced upgrade time. So i kept updating my times daily on airline apps but I hadn't heard anything. Ive seen that guys with less time than I have been hired and interviewed so its a bit frustrating. I dont know anyone there so its just me trying to put out a good name for myself.

So this morning I got on the ball and updated my times on airline apps, updated and freshened up a resume and cover letter and sent an email directly to HR. During the airline apps update I decided to be as honest as I could and I checked the box "have you ever had any licenses suspended/revoked". I never checked it before because I didnt think the medical license applied to that. But being the honest guy I am i reconsidered it and went ahead and checked that box. I couldnt obtain a medical from 2002 to 2006 and explained this in the box provided. Now not an hour later I get a rejection letter from airline apps.

I am guessing that this is why I received this letter. It wasnt from AE human resources. I was bummed and I thought that maybe the email I had sent to directly to HR caused them to look at my application. It didnt dawn on me that maybe it was the box I checked this morning regarding the license suspension that shot out the automated email.

What are your guys thoughts on this? It says I cannot reapply for 6 months.

Oh, and I sent an email just a minute ago back to HR explaining what I though happened. Maybe they will look at it and take pity on me.

Thanks for hearing me vent.
