Spoilers, I actually didn't have an internal recommendation. Here is the kicker, I just got furloughed from my corporate job 2 weeks ago, and since I have some 135 exp. (former starchecker, for anyone who knows the call sign), I applied at MAC's web site so they would have my resume on file.

Sorry, the kicker - They actually ended up posting a slot on climbto350 the very next day. I had no prior knowledge that they would do this, so it may be a huge element of 'right place, right time' (or a HUGE blessing, depending on personal views).

I have roughly 3 years of 135 under my belt with around 4000 TT/2000 night/400-ish actual IMC. Also have some Caravan exp (200-ish), but the majority is in El Baron, God bless 'er.

I'm not in-experienced by any means, but certainly not anywhere near the top of the experience pack either. I know 135 schedules vary, but I think it may have been due to my timing, Van time (limited as it is), or the fact I once forgot how to land in the daytime.
