I'm just a "not-all-THAT-old-but-gettin'-there" retired guy. I have been wrong before and there are no clear indicators of when I'll be wrong again, so please take this for what it's worth...
Here's my take on this email business...
I see a few possibilities here:
- The FAA is incredibly inept and has no clue whatsoever about what's going on with the hiring process.
- The FAA is incredibly crafty and sly and is manipulating the hiring process so as to have the applicants sufficiently worn out (and therefore easier to manage) before actually hiring them.
- There is a little of both of the above taking place.
- It is something else.
My unsolicited advice is - don't worry about it. It is something over which you have no control. If you received the email, you have two choices... answer it, or ignore it. If you did not receive it, you still have choices... among them, you can do nothing, or you can email the FAA and ask why you were left out.
I know from many of the other posts on this site that the new applicants don't particularly relish listening to the "old farts" bash the FAA, however, I am of the opinion that whatever the FAA is doing, as it pertains to the subject email, it has absolutely nothing to do with any concern on their part for you or your well-being.
For all of you working your way through the process, the outcome will be one of two things:
1) you will get hired
or
2) you won't
If you truly want the job, hang in there. If you make it, you will eventually experience the satisfaction that comes with moving airplanes and doing it well... there is no other feeling like it. And that is one thing that the FAA can never take away from you. Try not to worry about anything that you can't do anything about. Keep in mind, though that the agency doesn't particularly care if it's you doing the job or if it's someone else. It's nothing personal... it's how they do business.
