For those submitting external recs (both professional/personal), are you using the airlineapps.com link through the addendums page to send the request? Are the external recs even relevant or reviewed prior to receiving an interview invite?
Close. The magic number is one, but that does not guarantee an interview - just that your application will be reviewed. DAL Ranks all of its applicants according to standardized criteria. Having at least one internal recommendation will ensure your application is pulled out of the thousands of applications and ranked sooner. The actual recommendation does not help where you score on the ranking list, but puts you to the head of the list for ranking.
The timing of your interview will be determined by how high your application is ranked. Applications without recommendations will also be ranked for competitiveness but no telling when the company will get to it.
Good Luck
