Trying to find who to address a cover letter to for American Airlines. Would anyone happen to have the name of the best option? Head of HR or head of pilot recruiting or something?
 
Capt. Cesspool Ewell.


Although I think he retired about 20 years ago, come to think of it...

That was his nickname from a few of my retired AA buddies.
 
I don't mean to interject but I just wanted to mention that usually recruiters at job fairs do not want cover letters, just resumes. On that note, perhaps you're attaching one to your application. I would be generic about it - "To whom it may concern," or "Dear Pilot Selection Team," etc.
 
"Dearest Love,

I have admired you from afar for a very long time. I yearn to feel the warmth of your embrace. I have the pilot aptitude to make all your dreams come true.

Sincerely,
Sooper Pilot"

Your welcome.

"Dear Best Option,
...
."

Or, more professionally...
"Dear Decision Maker,
...
."
 
Just for fun, and that you might attempt to emulate it's splendid tone I've posted below an example of a letter from the customer service department of a clothing manufacturer (posing as the company's president) to a retailer in response to the retailer's complaint about the company's product... I find this letter a beneficial and inspiring exemplar when composing my various and sundry corporate correspondence.

Mr. I. Abelman, Mongoloid, Esq.:

We have received via post your absurd comments about our trousers, the comments revealing, as they did, your total lack of contact with reality. Were you more aware, you would know or realize by now that the offending trousers were dispatched to you with our full knowledge that they were inadequate so far as length was concerned.

“Why? Why?” you are in your incomprehensible babble, unable to assimilate stimulating concepts of commerce into your retarded and blighted worldview.

The trousers were sent to you (1) as a means of testing your initiative (A clever, wide-awake business concern should be able to make three-quarter length trousers a by-word of masculine fashion. Your advertising and merchandising programs are obviously faulty.) and (2) as a means of testing your ability to meet the standards requisite in a distributor of our quality product. (Our loyal and dependable outlets can vend any trouser bearing the Levy label no matter how abominable their design and construction. You are apparently a faithless people.)

We do not wish to be bothered in the future by such tedious complaints. Please confine your correspondence to orders only. We are a busy and dynamic organization whose mission needless effrontery and harassment can only hinder. If you molest us again, sir, you may feel the sting of the lash across your pitiful shoulders.

Yours in anger,

Gus Levy, Pres.

Done. Hired.
 
Honest to god truth, it really doesn't matter as long as it is professional.

To whom it may concern is the standard go to. Don't worry about it too much.
