And on first the bold part, are you referencing the PAQ form, or something else? I was able to fit 4-5 names/titles in there.

Second bold part, they've hired regional/corp/135 pilots over those with heavy/mil time. Maybe the former scored higher points via rec and how the interview went whereas the heavy time may have scored higher on the front end, etc.
hmmm that's interesting. I know they hire from all walks of life but I was thinking if there is a point system then there should (in theory) be a way to make your application more attractive if you could get the things that would give you enough points, right? Obviously, you can't just go to Walmart and pick up some heavy time but if you know what they want then it's easy to differentiate yourself. For example, a friend of mine who recently got on at another carrier said the computer that receives the resumes and applications is looking for keywords like "FMS experience", "Glass Cockpit" or other words that are synonymous to the company's values. It's not really what you've done, it's how you worded it and how the computer interprets it.

And yes, I was referring to the box in the PAQ. I just looked at mine and if I add three people's names and job titles the font gets so small that there is no way anyone would be able to read it. I only have the person I am closest to listed. Is that hurting me, or am I getting the same points as someone who has say three?
