When I transfered to American from Eagle I had to interview just like everyone else (off the street). This included the new-hire background check. Even though I'd been employed within AMR for over 5 years, I had to undergo the same background check as the others. The independant company that AA contracts with to do their background checks lost my information . I waited a few months, then other transfers who'd interviewed after me started getting class dates, and I didn't. I finally called to ask what was going on, and AA F/A recruitment did some checking and had to re-submit my info for the background check. This delay cost me 4 weeks, which amounted to about 200 senority numbers initially, then TWA was purchased while I was in class, and because of the delay in getting me in class I am now behind all the TWA F/As. My first furlough would have been avoided completely had I been the in the class I was supposed to be, and I would have recieved a recall letter with the latest recall had I been in that class.

Long story short, maybe the airline in question lost your info? Or hasn't processed things properly? Don't give up all hope until you get that lovely rejection letter.
