I just got a "fix it" e-mail today, but it has me scratching my head.
It states "the date entered for your FAA First Class Medical Certificate indicates that it is no longer valid. Please take appropriate action to correct this situation so that we may continue to review your application."
My medical was issued in 6/13. I was 39 when I received the medical, so it is good for 12 calendar months (until 6/14). Turned 40 last month. I can only think that the Delta system dinged me because it thinks since I'm 40 I needed a new medical every six months--which will not be the case until my next medical is issued in 6/14.
I e-mailed airline apps to see what they suggest for my "correction." But I thought I'd post on this board to see if anyone else has encountered this issue and has recommendations on how to resolve it.

Too late for me, but I thought others might like to know. I'm fairly certain that just getting the medical early was still the most expeditious way to keep the ball going forward. Now I get to see if Delta is really interested . . .

Here is the scenario...regional FO with no upgrade in sight. Goal is delta. Do I leave the regional to get some valuable airbus time at spirit or virgin or do I stay put? I am concerned delta will see I have only been at the LCC for a short time (say a year or so) and may have lots of questions about why I'm leaving the carrier after such a short time. (Or worse won't want to interview me at all) How important is company loyalty? Thoughts?
I think it would be smart to head over to SPIRIT, you will notice a different "feel" and different more enjoyable flying. You might not want to come to Delta after. Otherwise, the Regional world is not a good place to be. Dont put all your eggs in the DELTA basket either. UAL/AA/FDX/SWA are all in a good place to reign.

Received similar e-mail for updated Military training on 19 Mar 2014. Filled all gaps (to the day) for any aviation/leadership training received and returned a "Thank you for the opportunity" email on the 21st. Now living in the glass half full world! Will post if/when I hear something.

Trying to get a C-130 friend a shot at an interview. Could someone please tell me if air-apps still has an "app number" to identify the applicant? If so, is it necessary to include that number in his recommendation? In other words, how does AK find JOHN SMITH? Good to see ya the other day T! Sorry to be in such a rush. Cheers H...

Question.
I have had an Airlineapps account for years. I have always maintained a 10 year work history on that website. Based on the fact that it says "Jobs requiring background checks will need a 10 year history. If you have not worked the last 10 years, your work/unemployment/education must account for the last 10 years."
My previous career looks a bit spotty with lots of job changes as I hated my previous career. SALES!!
Does Delta want my work history for the past 25 years? Or just the last 10?
Maybe that's one reason I'm not getting a call.
