I applied March 4th and submitted on my docs. Mine says still in process. Apply again? Even if I’m showing one app submitted? Thanks!

I believe you can do an update.

So this is something they want you to acknowledge but wouldn’t count against you?

Just applied but curious if anyone else has ran into this issue. The flight hours grid only wants PIC and SIC turbine hours but what about hours logged as neither? I fly widebody augmented crews and log some hours in the bunk as required crew but not PIC or SIC. Leave them off? Put them down as SIC?

April Application
 
I just reapplied and used essentially the same information from my March Application and within seconds had a TBNT. Did anyone else get this?!

Does your candidate portal show your March app still in process? If so it may have auto declined due to already having an app in there.

I would err on the side of caution. If those bunk hours make or break the minimums then so be it.

you’re a required crew member aren’t you? Put them all down as SIC. I did and no problems interviewing / getting hired. Wasn’t even asked about it

Id acknowledge and tell them what you learned etc. The CFI is particularly common….

Congrats! Keep us updated if you don’t mind on your timeline (interview offer date/interview/CJO/start).

I’m with a bunch of others still in the “in process” category.

I definitely will :) Good luck!

I'm not defeatest about discussing my career with interviewers. I'm actually excited to get in front of them and to talk about those very situations and what kind of pilot i've been. But in the interest of impartiality a lot of hiring departments operate on automatic points systems and unfortunately that's the big filter I face. The scoresheet kicks me out before any of my interview questions or LORs or references can get a word in.

I appreciate the support and moto people have brought in the comments. If anything gives me hope it's the fact that people like y'all are out there.

I wish you the best! You got this!! :)
