1. How important is the PIC hrs!
2. How important is recommendation letters!
Pls guys help me out, How many hrs is presently getting interview!
If you've got a decent chunk of experience on the 737, I think that might score pretty well. I think there have been guys in every class that don't have TPIC. They're in the minority, but it's not a deal breaker.
As for the rec letters, I don't think anyone really knows the magic formula. From what I've heard, they don't do much to get you the interview, but they score you points once you're there. However, I think the truth is closer to a magical island shrouded in clouds....
