Thanks.

I see you are an IP and I think that will count for a lot if you get face time with a recruiter.

They do 3 or 4 a day times every CPO throughout the system plus what the the other managers are recommending = a pretty sizable "short" stack. It can't hurt but it isn't the golden ticket it once was.

3 Meet and greets? The reason they probably don't carry as much weight is because they have been overly exploited for lack of a better term. I do believe there is a point on the power curve when too many recommendations from heavy hitters can possibly be viewed in a less than positive light. Is this the case at UAL? I am not sure, but something to consider.

So, yes, if this is accurate then a M&G is huge. 50% from a stack of 700 and 50% from a stack of 11,000.
