Credit was not an issue. If there is something in my background it didn't show up when I got my CHL (concealed handgun liscense) I have applied for a tax stamp from the ATF so if there is a criminal issue it will show up there (I have never been handcuffed or in the backseat of a police car in my 50 plus years of living much less arrested)

I interviewed on the 14 and 15th of May and received the letter on the morning of the 16th. If there was incriminating evidence on the 16th I would have thought it would have been available on the 15th. It would be nice to know the truth. I retired from my full time job on the 16th.

Not on the TSA watch list because I fly AA non-rev (Wife works for AA) quite often. Have never had a problem getting cleared to fly 135 or SIDA badge.

Airlineapps allows you to validate your app. with different companies. I did it with AE and it said everything is OK.

I just hope it was that they decided to stop all hiring and that was the way to let me know.

The folks in HR weren't even told anything until THE day AE announced the parking of the SAAB's and the stuff hit the fan.

I don't know if they are able to figure out who you are, but just be careful. You will hear something from us soon enough. There's only a few folks in recruiting right now and they still have a long way to go.

Now, when the same person or another starts processing files for interview scheduling, where do you think they draw from? Yep, right off the top of the pile.

This is the reason why it's best to send in a recommendation a day or two after the interview and another a week later. It keeps the applicant's file near the top if the pile.
