Interview 2013.
I got an interview about 6 months after an Atlas Captain I'd worked with walked in my particulars. The VP of flight ops said in late 2013 that 95% of new hires had an internal recommendation.

I don't doubt the 95% part, but I've had buddies text mgmt, while hanging out and they've basically said it was out of their hands. Even guys knocking on doors while in MIA asking WhatTheFu@%? Zip, Zero, Nada. Don't be confused..
