It has happened before even within the past year, but that is rare and not something thats a usual practice.

Does anyone know how picky they are regarding the multi time requirement?

Obviously within reason, but all or most need to be recent? Or just some....

What they're really trying to determine is how "trainable" you will be -- no easy task on the phone or even in face-to-face interviews. The training and checkrides are pretty serious business, and people without recent experience -- or very little AMEL experience -- are more likely to have problems than folks with more (and recent) time. There are exceptions. A red-hot interview and blazing sim check will help.

I submitted my online application last night. Do they send out any automated email to let the applicant know they have received it?

Any word back?

No they don't send out any confirmation. they will contact you over email for phone interview.

Oh I know how it works over there...the "squeaky wheel gets the grease", which is how I was with them. But getting this email after we had scheduled an interview seems to close the deal for me:

"I am sorry to inform you that Ameriflight will not be able to go forward with your interview process. While I am not at liberty to discuss the specifics of your interview cancellation, I will say that it was indeed a pleasure speaking to you on Sept. 9.
*$##$, I wish you all the luck in the world and I know your flying career with soar to unexpected heights."

If you don't succeed the first time, try, try again (once every 45 days is enough). But bear in mind that they're trying to identify the best candidates from the resumes and interview results on hand when it's time to select a class. A look at your own resume and past history is also worthwhile, because they check those things pretty thoroughly -- and sometimes replies to previous employer queries or PRIA requests don't come in until after the phone interview.

I don't believe they start the PRIA process until you are in INDOC

Just made it through the phone interview, and was invited to the "real" interview.
