No, you don't need a recommendation to get an interview, I'd say half of the guys in my class had less than 500 TT and just applied cold. All of my class made it through training, with the exception of one guy that never should have been hired in the first place due to a horrible attitude problem.
You're going to hear all sorts of things about Colgan, mostly negative. Some of it is legit, some of it isn't. If you want to PM me with any questions, I'd be happy to help you however I can.
