Military preferred ?! Yeah uh no.
They are filling classes with applicants that are all over the map. It is HR's version of a well-rounded pilot group.
What's an "international" rec ?

Recommendations ARE weighted differently though. A UAL pilot rec that has personally flown with you is near the top for example.
