IMHO, I believe your logic is correct. I can't see where a candidate having six letters would work against them, but I can certainly understand the lessened value of a letter by one FDX pilot who has written 20 recommendation letters. Especially if he says in every one of them that this candidate is the absolute best pilot he's ever flown with...
Thanks for the clarification.
