Do I need rec. letters w/ it, or just if/when I interview?
Do I have any chance at interview w/ out Type Rating-planning on HPA in November.

Thanks

I think a resume only would suffice. I went to the open house in DAL and cover letters were not the norm. It's pretty tough to get the call without the type(not impossible). The only guys I personally know to get calls were IP's, chief pilots, check airman, etc. None of my regular line pilot type friends were getting a call. My app was in over a year, no call. Got the type at HPA and had a call within 5 weeks, interviewed in under 2 months.
