25JAN21 PILOT/NFO BOARD
- Thread starter BDavis11
- Start date
I agree that there has to be something that we're missing. I feel the indications are all in the Notes section, to which they probably haven't updated. I'd have to dig a bit for previous board dates but isn't the first board of the new year typically for the current FY and after? I find it hard to imagine that they would review 154 applicants only to select such a low number of SNA -- that number has to be for FY21 only and the remaining chosen applicants are pushed to the FY22 (which isn't recorded on GENOFF and exists with the mystical world of Azeroth). It just doesn't make any sense, logistically and time-wise for them to review such a large number of applicants, only to discard close to 80% of applicants.
Sigh, these fk fck games are annoying xD
You’d think they’d try to prevent front loading so much. Granted COVID probably didn’t help with back log, but if that’s the case then chances of getting picked up would be highest at the beginning of the fiscal year and decrease as the year goes on. Then decreasing the likelihood of choosing the best possible candidates overall. Don’t you think?
Based on past experience with board selection rates I would agree, even if great candidates are passed over as time goes on in the FY. The best chance to get picked up are the first split FY board (May) and the following board (Aug). They both seem to have high selection rates due to a large quota to fill. The two remaining boards for the FY (Oct and Jan) tend to get the scraps for quota's it seems.

so by split FY board you mean the ones listed as FY21/FY22 on the schedule? In that case maybe March won't be so bad for IWC after all since it is a split FY board; it'll just mean majority of selects will be slotted for FY22 (or beyond...)
Exactly. They're trying to finish off the previous year and also start selecting quota's from a new FY. If they over select on the first or second board they can slow up a bit. But based on the rumor of over-selection from October, it just screws over the 4th board for that FY and selections are minimal. People pushed to Apr/May should count that as a small blessing as the overall quota's may be higher if they start selecting FY22 for that board.
Whoever used the analogy of high school love and desperation is exactly how I feel right about now ? justifying their actions and on an emotional roller coaster of “they love me, they love me not”
- the GREAT news is May is the next board ?
I did apply with a 5/7/5 on this board. My recruiter never said I had a waiver, but could they have done that for me without telling me?

just gotta hope results come out well in advance of the next deadline or that will be tough times all around...
Right! The sooner results come out the better it helps everyone.
If you applied with that and no waiver for NFO, either they didn't put you in for NFO, or they requested a NFO waiver and submitted without your knowledge of a waiver. That is, assuming you applied for both per the text message image you posted last week.
Blame game poem. Reciting this right now, the board got me in the feels lol
Interesting I’ll ask my recruiter on Monday cause he said I was good to go, so hears hoping in on for both then. I was on the AT list so idk lol
That's a good start, it sucks that the at board list doesn't at least show at a minimum, designators that were applied for.
I think my brain is on damn overload from so much information. I don’t even know how to decipher this ?
Good training for us IG
