I've had an internal recommendation for the last 2-3 weeks and still haven't heard anything from applying in mid-January. Their HR department works through a 3rd party source and filters a lot of the resumes, sometimes probably overlooking quality pilot candidates for one reason or another. If you ask me, it's completely ludicrous how they conduct it and is damaging their hiring.
