I'm compiling my list contacts at all the majors and I need some advice on sending a sample Letter of Rec along with my request. In general, do Letters of Rec need to be detailed, or is a general format which states 'good person' & 'good pilot' the way to go? Some of the sample letters of rec I've seen go into detail and re-state what is already in the application. Also, I've heard that any number of recs beyond the minimum does not score you any extra points. Does 4 per airline sound like a reasonable number?
