Army Chief Pilot, other army pilots, guys I have flown with in the past, other people who can talk highly of me but who I havent flown with? Are those non airline pilot recommendations worth anything?
Thanks
Get as many recommendations as you can. I had one internal, one from a check airman at my current job (SkyWest) and the rest were from the Army and I received the call.
Keep plugging away and update your applications often. I still have no idea how I got the call but did (and forever grateful and humbled by it). Here are my qualifications:
5400 TT
840 Army Helo and current member of the ARNG
100 PIC 121 (upgraded in JAN2015)
Hope that helps a bit.
