I believe this section was a major reason I was invited to interview. There was not a box to check on airlineapps.com when I first started trying to get hired at United. I went for years without getting a call. After the box appeared (and I was able to check being ex-Comair) I got the email invite within a month.
Nice to see my 16 years and a battle star count for something!
