I have a friend (1+ yr FO who the CP had never had ANY problems with / didn't know his name kind of guy) who walked his silver bullet recommendation in, but heard crickets for over a month. He had his recommended pilot go to a career fair of some variety, and presto; his friend got an interview.

I don't think the recommendations are worth what they once were. Your mileage may vary. Not approved by the FDA to treat or diagnose any medical or political conditions... Good luck!
