Just checked, it says the same thing for me too.^

I flew the last flight on Oct 13. It was posted on Oct 16. Now it was mailed on Oct 24. This time it is way faster than in June when I was qualified as E. At that time, I waited over a month before I got my package.

My last flight posted Oct 14th, but yes, seems to be quicker around this time of year.

Wednesday, still no AP mail.

Called up AP and they're saying that it could take 7-14 days to arrive, and that the package is mailed out of either Vancouver or Montreal.

Seems awfully long, though according to the Canada post website a letter can take up to 4 business days to arrive... a far cry from 7-14 days

I finished my 50th flight segment on 10/26, but there are 4 of them still missing in my account (they were flown months ago, so they must have been missed). I mailed my request to AP almost two months ago, and they still haven't processed them. I called them last week to ask, they said they have my mail, but it will take them longer to process...

Can I still make the early recognition if they can't credit my segments before 10/31 (which, as I read from this thread, is the last day for early recognition)? If AP doesn't recognize me automatically for early E status, do I have a valid reason to fight for it?

It does seem rather odd that it takes so long. Mine also says it was mailed on October 24. I'm hoping it arrives before my next flight on Nov. 6!
