Hey there...back in March, I "finished" the Airman Flight School "Upgrade" course and took the Commercial SEL, MEL, CFI and CFII checkrides in the course of like a week.
Everything has gone smooth except...the MEL license.
At first, my temp was going to expire, so I called the FSDO and Airman Certification. Surprise surprise...no record on file of that checride. I even talked to the lady at the FSDO that "personally handles" the 8710s. Anywho, eventually I was given a new temp before my old one expired and am now running on that.
However, I checked the faa website (where you can see what date they're working on certificates for) and they're working on the certificates for after my new temporary was issued but my info online hasn't been changed to reflect Commercial Single and Multiengine bla bla bla.
Should I be worried that Airman didn't forward my 8710 to the FAA? Should I place another call to Airman Certification? The FSDO? Will Degraw (DPE)?
Please tell me I'm not going to have to take another ME checkride...I really can't afford that right now...even if that's the reality, let me live in a fantasy world for a few days.
Any help/insight/advice would be great! Thanks in advance!
