Currently a WN FO with ~500 hrs here in the 737. Previously flew for an AA WO.

My application has been on file since Feb and I've confirmed with the team on multiple occasions that my application is complete and published but still haven't heard anything.

AA is where I want to be as I am moving to CLT this summer and I have turned down UA and DL as I only want to leave SW for AA to be in base.

I do understand there are others with equal or even much more experience still waiting.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

~3000 TT
~2000 Turbine
~400 TPIC
4 Internal LORs
1 check ride failure a few years back
No skeletons (lol)
Bachelor's Degree
Master's in Progress

Went to OBAP and talked to an AA HR person. They could not see my application on their end. Something was preventing my application from being published. That same HR person forwarded my information to their IT department. They found that one of my attached PDF Letters of Recommendation was preventing my application from being published. Once I removed the specific LOR and submitted it, I received an email shortly after that my application was received and I got the email to take the PST as well.

I filled out the entire application and have gone back to revise it various times, hitting "Save and Submit" at the end of each section and getting the "updated successfully" banner each time. I did not receive any confirmation email from AA after completing the application. I emailed them and no reply. Does anyone have any recommendation as to how I should proceed? Thanks in advance for your help.
