Just got off the call with my recruiter, he confirmed that there is indeed an issue with pilot slots... Apparently there turned out to be a huge influx of applicants after last fiscal year when they reopened pilot slots after the freeze and even now they accepted too many people from last FY that rolled over to FY26 and there are just too many SNA packets at this board... My recruiter said he just got the news last Thursday and they're still all sorting out and tracking who's actually at board (he also just found out about the at-board list last week...) because a lot of packets are being postponed for some more months (he mentioned January when I asked about November board but don't have a definitive answer for that) even if they were submitted on time... This explains why so many aren't on the at board list myself included, he's going to double check for me right now and will get back to me soon; he mentioned perhaps those that submitted earlier might be safe so I'll EXTRAPOLATE that the board is doing first-come-first serve with which SNA packets they're going to review if any... I hope all of this gets sorted out and we all get reviewed this board instead of another long wait.I finally got in contact with my recruiter who indicated to me he got no kickback on my application from processing so there’s no issues there. I listed SNFO 1, SNA 2 (weird, I know) and he says there’s a note there that there is some issue with pilot slots for this board which is why I may not of been on a list that the member in this thread kindly checked for me. Recruiter believes I’ll be looked at today for NFO still. I’m not sure what exactly he said for the pilot slot issues this board and I don’t want to paraphrase too much and cause potential issues and stress for others. It seems however the NFO position still may be a go for me at least with?
Edit - this doesn’t make a lot of sense now to me actually because multiple people on the excel listed SNA as their only position yet are still at this board. Why would my name not be there if the issue is with some pilot slots yet I have NFO as #1? Suppose I’ll be in limbo for the next 2-4 weeks as potential results roll in.
NFO slots are all good, though.
EDIT: Definitely check in with your recruiter to confirm if you are at board!
