One rec a year? One rec every six months? One a month? Obviously one would not want to dilute the meaning of their recommendations, but I'm sure many can also think of more than just one or two people to recommend, and if they all meet the competitive interview minimums, then . . . ?
Sorry I wasn't very clear. A DL pilot can submit a recommendation for a candidate (email that triggers the pull-and-score) only once per year for that candidate. (my understanding)
I don't know if sending the email for multiple candidates 'dilutes' their credibility. I'd think that if a current pilot recommended 10 candidates in a month and all 10 got job offers the hiring folks would greatly appreciate it. If, however, they recommended 10 and none of them met the minimums to trigger an invite,...I don't know.
On AirlineApps, a candidate can have as many recommendation letters, internal and external, as they can gather. I don't know how they all weigh out, though. i.e. external-flying, external non-fly, internal, etc. I imagine that the internals weigh more heavily than externals.
