I used linkedin and facebook. I searched linkedin profiles for the companies I was applying to, and scrolled through the results looking for people I knew. You may be surprised. At SWA I ran across a captain who was a high school water polo teammate, and at Spirit I ran into an FO who was my pre-solo ground school partner from back in high school! Talk about throwback reunions. There are other community sites other than linkedin and facebook so search them all.
