I guess I should have scrolled down and seen the words, "current first class medical." Surprised that would shoot me down for an interview, but that has got to be it. Guess it is too late now...
Guess what I am doing tomorrow!
I think there is a glitch in the AirlineApps software regarding the medical due to the change in regs back in August 2008 regarding the 1st class medical.
I recently applied via Airline Apps and when I did the compare app function it made it appear as if I did not have a current first class medical. I am under 40 years old and my medical was issued in April 2010, making it valid as a first class medical.
AE seems to be an odd beast in regards to its HR in regards to who they do and don't interview. Being selective is a good thing but I feel they are inconsistent with some of their hiring practices that often times are too induced by policies created by non-pilots.
