Misspelled Airlineapps.com email contact!
 

I am freaking out. Today, I saw a post on our pilots' Facebook page to check for the next 2019 job fair/expo email. They said if your app is out, you will get it... I did not. I have just realized that I misspelled my contact email address after two years with my app out! I feel that I am getting to the competitive stage in my regional career and am genuinely terrified that I might have missed an invite/ hogan assessment! Please, can someone put me at ease? Is there another way they get to you? Do they retry after X amount of months?... And yes, I know, I'm an idiot! Ughhhhhhh... :(

First thing I’d do is send an email to that incorrect email and see if it bounced back as invalid. If so, set up a new email using that incorrect email, at least temporarily. If it doesn’t bounce back it may belong to someone. If so, send an email to it explaining your situation. Not sure what you’d say, but you have to give it a shot. Who knows, they might say oh so you’re the one they invited to take that Hulk Hogan test.

Also, I think the folks who run the hiring are probably pretty good folks. If you can, call them or send an email to them explaining your error. It happens. Ask if you missed an invite. There will be a record of it. They will tell you. Who knows, maybe you’ll really connect with them and get an invite because of this. What a country!

I thought invites for expo go out in July..

Thanks that's good advice! Squallrider yea, the Pilot Career Expo invites go out in July but the announcement just went out.

They only contact you by email. You even schedule your interview online from an email link (at least that's how it was a few years ago).

The good news is: chances are your application never got pulled if you are describing yourself as just "getting to the competitive stage" in your regional career. APC225 had great advice about the email address thing.

Whether or not contacting them is a good idea is a tougher question to answer. You're basically going to be admitting poor attention to detail. I don't know that they'll be sympathetic. But I also could be wrong.

right... they could look negatively against it or it could speak to my character for calling myself out and resolving the issue. Who would I even contact about that though? I don't want to be throwing my name all around UAL management as the guy who couldn't even get his email address correct.

Fill out a new app profile with the right email address. If you have LORs on file contact them again and send them a copy and paste of their letter so it won’t be hard for them to resend.

Poop happens.

Relax. Breathe. Find you mistake, admit it, fix it and move forwrd. The macro things in the industry are (finally) in your favor if you have the qualifications.


Fly the Airplane, Silence the Warning, Confirm the Emergency oh, and then fix the problem.


Cheers; hope it works out.

A United person told me my app wasn't being looked at because of my incident. The incident in question was me sitting in the jumpseat while the operating crew did a high speed abort and blew the fuse plugs. Good luck with all the other airlines though!
