After the registration please follow your status on the Pilots tab. Here is an explanation of statuses:
Missing Requirements – Registered but we have not received (and reviewed) signed waivers and medical forms nor received payment.
Waiting for payment – Registered and received and reviewed signed waivers and medical form but not payment.
In progress – Registered and received payment but not signed (and reviewed) waivers and medical form.

Waiting list - (this is the default that Airtribune sets automatically when you register) probably we haven't yet set you as "Missing Requirements," which we do unless we see that you have done more than register. But, while we've never had a Waiting List before, who knows, we may have one in the future and you may be on it.
