Default Did not make the flight

I was invited to an Eagle interview for tomorrow and they put me on a standby status. With only two flights a day leaving RSW, needless to say, I didn't get on. The lady at the gate told me they were overbooked by 4 and the next flight in the afternoon was worse. She advised me not even to wait around. Anyone else ever experience this?? I tried to get a hold of recruiting but no answer. I sent an email so I hope they respond. IF they reschedule, I am afraid it will be during the class I already have scheduled with PSA. I'm glad I am already hired but was looking forward to the Eagle interview for, at minimum, the experience.

Yeah, I though it was a little weird considering PSA had me on positive space a last week. I though Eagle would do the same but I guess not.

When I interviewed at Eagle a few years ago, I believe I was positive space. Told the gate agent I was interviewing with Eagle and was moved to First Class. At that time, it was the best Domestic first class experience I had ever had.

Yes, it's always good advice to get hammered while riding positive space to an interview, lol!

That does not sound right. You should be positive space going to the interview.

3 years ago I was positive spaced and both flights where full. I guess the gate agent probably doesn't know that.
