Not a word heard back yet though.

Any suggestions?

Go to a job fair and meet them in person.

Or call the police jurisdictions?? I suspect if I asked for details of a ticket fro 30 years ago, there will be silence on the other end of the line.

Research how far back your state's driving record search goes, and most likely that's too far back. So give it your best guess, disclose it's the best guess, and if anyone asks a question about it (they won't), tell them what you've found. Airline applications areessentially attention to detail and "do you give a ****" tests. Saying "I did my homework and that ticket is 20 years past my state's record keeping abilities so this is the best date I can give you" is a great answer. Signaling that you couldn't be bothered to properly fill out an application for a multimillion dollar career and you completely WAG'ed it is not a good answer.

I don't think they call you until your availability date is within 6 months. Had a TK employee as well as Hiring both tell me the same thing. I would just patiently wait.

Update availability Date

Is there a way to update the availability date for Military pilots? I can see my current availability date under the "military" section of the PDF printout, but online in the actual application I cannot find a spot to update it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
