Maybe they want more varied flying? Strategically positioning themselves to be with American? Tired of the 737?
Very curious.

flybywire, did your friend that applied in August have an application invitation in February for that requisition number? My August app still says under review but I had an application invitation for the latest req. #. I've heard that if you're still under review, they'll get to you-it's just a matter of when the computer pulls your name out. Is there any truth to that? Are they gonna give all the August applicants still under review a shot before they move on to other application windows? Thanks in advance.

Just went into my profile to check on things... On my August application it says under review, but I have another application on file from February when they invited everyone to reapply and I have the view directions link under that req. number. Not sure if the view directions means anything anymore but I am hopeful..

I'm in the same boat as everybody else waiting for a call. I think it's almost comical how we are all grasping at any little thing and hoping that it means something. Hopefully in 5 years or so we can all look back and laugh at ourselves over all this.
