Good for you.
I have a friend who's a captain at Skywest. He has about 6 LOR's from AA pilots. He's updated his apps after every trip for years. He's a former electrical engineer who worked for Boeing for a few years. He's been to the Job Fairs, including OBAP last month.
Guess what? He got a call from FedEx for an interview. He's ecstatic. I wrote a nice email to Recruitment the following week imploring them to call him for an interview, or risk losing him to FedEx.
Crickets. As I expected.
As someone else said here, no one in Recruitment cares about any pilot heading to any of our competitors.
As an aside, I have a very good friend who's a narrowbody captain here. His son flew for Envoy for maybe two years or so. Maybe less. He was called for an interview and hired this Spring. I'm super happy for him, but it just reinforces the fact that having a parent who's a captain here at AA carries HUGE weight.
