Hopefully you'll hear back soon.
Now I wonder if no background check request within 2 weeks means probably PFO on the way.

Good luck to all of waiting.

AC is notoriously slow in their hiring process. It’s not uncommon to wait months from interview to job offer.

Meanwhile I’m hearing Flair and other airlines are fast tracking their hiring process because they want butts in seats as fast as possible.

Just sayin, there’s other options out there, do your due diligence before locking into a single employer and choose appropriately.

Remember to add at least 10 days to the whole process if you interviewed late November early December. I don’t have any contacts in hiring so I’m guessing at the timeline, but company wide but things seem to take a bit longer through the Xmas season.

That's what I've heard too, and when did you do the interview?

Is this what you received? If so I'm sorry to hear that but I would definitely reapply as soon as you can. Does it say that in your letter?

Interesting. I've never heard of this kind of letter. Almost like purgatory between an acceptance and a true PFO. Maybe this is a new thing but I'd imagine that given what another poster said about getting a PFO to reapply in 6 months, it looks like you don't need to. But, I wouldn't leave this to chance. I'd contact recruitment and see if you need to or not.

Good luck!

It costs HR nothing to string you along, and in this job market it makes sense to try to keep you from moving on.
