I believe you did indeed make an error on the application. It's my understanding that applies to a pilots or driver's license and not denial of a medical certificate. If you currently hold a valid 1st class medical certificate and have never had your pilots or drivers license suspended or revoked, they should give you another look and at the very least remove the six-month restriction on reapplication.

Well as ex-AE, I can say that AE is a great place to be ...... FROM. I would suppose that reduced upgrade equals 9 to 10 years.
If you really like to fly with grumpy old farts that are bitter 'cause they didn't get hired at United in the 80s, then AE ORD is the place for you.
<Disclaimer: Only about 40% of the guys I flew with were grumpy old farts /Disclaimer>
The TWA and Flow-back guys were awesome to fly with and offered up a lot of experience.
FWIW, you are probably better off. Soon you will get an opportunity to go elsewhere.

Current upgrade times are not necessarily a good way to decide where you want to go. Go somewhere that, if you were to NOT upgrade, it would be a tolerable quality of life (work/reserve rules, guaranteed days off, health benefits, etc.).
Ask any ExpressJet pilot who got hired in 2006, when the upgrade time was an anticipated eighteen MONTHS, how their career expectations have changed. Fortunately XJT had a fantastic quality of life going (for a regional) for several years; it's been on the decline for many months now. No regrets for me, but I would suggest that you choose your poison based on other, more conservative criteria.
