Anyone have a better approach? Another way was to ask around my current regional and see who’s moving up to the majors, but finding someone that’s moving on that happens to be flying with me has become ineffective too.
How have you been approached for a letter or how did you get your letters? Thanks!
For letters to have any bearing, the person providing the letter - at a minimum - should be able to unequivocally support your abilities as an airline pilot, with the idea that your prospective new employer can contact this person as a source of further information.
A jumpseater you just met is a no-go. What’s the millennial term? “I just can’t.”
