All you can do is check as many boxes and wait/hope for the phone to ring (email for the video interview). Is there a DPE box? If not I don’t think it’ll make a difference. Letters of recommendation are considered after the interview.

I flew with one of the pilot interviewers. He said he never saw a letter of rec and his guess was that they are used for points in the algorithm to get a call/might be looked at at the final review level.

Where exactly are the recs supposed to show up? I should have a couple on there (it's been a month since they were submitted) but am not seeing them anywhere. Under the references section I only see folks that I have manually entered, and in the attachments section there is nothing but my resume. Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, nowhere on that page for me is the word “recommendation.” Must just be because none have gotten attached. At least I know I’m not just blind and can go poke some people about it. Thanks again.

I imagine so. They both just asked for the email address associated with my pilotcreds acct, and I know it wasn’t their first time doing it for someone.

Does your application have to be published in order for a LOR to attach to it? I have a LOR from someone I flew with but I don’t see his name where it should be listed. My app is in draft mode right now.
