BOOYAH!
After applying every opening since 10/2010, I finally got the call, interview, and made it to the pool! Can't wait to be swapping stories at the grill!
And for those wondering, 2 internal recs, 6,500 total time, current RJ CA with 1,100 TPIC.
This last window, one of my internals wrote an awesome new letter of rec and sent it to the chief pilot and cc'd HR. I got the email for the test about two weeks later. So I suspect that helped.
Thanks to everyone on here who has contributed to this thread. The gouge was spot on and a HUGE contributing factor to my getting this far.
