I know at AC they hand out the 2 PFOs. The one allows you to try again after 6 months, the other is a full FO.

I'd say after 6 months try again if you haven't gotten an indication that they don't want you to try again.

I know people that have been PFO’d twice from AC and gotten the job on subsequent applications.

The email said “Thank you for your interest. We decided to go with different candidates. We encourage you to check back for future career opportunities”

So that’s why I am curious when to reapply.

Go for it... it does ask in the application if you've been in the hiring process before. Worst they say is "no".

What's changed since you last applied?

If they went with a different candidate, is your experience level on the lower side? How much experienced have you gained? Have they lowered their requirements?

Good point... if anything it's bound to be more competitive with a lot of Jazz draining over

This doesn’t get considered nearly enough when these questions come up. If you’re not thinking about improving yourself after a PFO, what’s the alternative? “I hope they have lower standards next week”?

Reapply whenever, but consider the following:
-upgrade at your current company
-join your company’s training department
-go fly in a more challenging environment elsewhere

You know, self improvement. Then at the next interview don’t say negative things about anything, just in case it’s actually your personality holding you back.

We ask that you wait 6 months from your interview date prior to reapplying and many are successful on subsequent attempts.

The above comments are great points.

Airlines will call you if you meet the minimum requirements because well those are their requirements. In this environment they are not going go spend two hours interviewing someone they have no intention of hiring.

Take some time to reflect on the questions they asked, the answers you provided and where you may have gone wrong. If you received the invite with hours near their minimum requirements there is also a chance they felt your answers reflected that.

I think in your case it would seem they didn't like something about your interview, with those hours.

Lots of fantastic points here. Lownslow is bang on, you can reapply but definitely find ways to show you've grown since your last try, That's what they want to see!

Don’t sweat it. PFOs happen. Also, things happen for a reason. It just hasn’t manifested itself why yet. Try again in a few months. Meanwhile, tons of others hiring.
