Before pilot hiring gets hot in a few weeks: Letters of Recommendation

[derg]

Letters of recommendation nay be helpful for an already competitive candidate.

Having one is good. Having two is fine, but not really an incremental benefit, three or more, hot damn, so you play golf with some pilots.

Remember, they’re never negative and everyone with a high-value name drop like a director or VP in a LOR usually is masking for lower qualifications:

“My cousin, YOUR CEO…”

“Cool, Sparky just soloed and things he’s coming to mainline”

Skills the US Air Force taught me. Maj. Walsh, specifically, RIP.

"we've never met but my roommate's cousin's stepfather saw you once at 31 Flavors. I have 375 hours but more than 6 of them are in a Piper Seminole. In my spare time I breed salamanders.

I will accept no less than ATL A350. Don't lowball me. I know what I got.

Can I haz recommendation?"

I've been around this industry long enough to know - I'm about 18 months behind the "make more pancakes." So, have resume ready when they get to the bottom of the stack.

One thing we can all agree on is that they're delicious. I always loved the salty version and eating them was one of my happiest memories of visiting my dad in the Netherlands when he was working there.
