At risk of sounding dumb, what actually makes your app “published?” It’s not like there is a big green “submit” button. I have all green check marks and my profile status is “complete.” I just want to make sure I’m not missing something here.

LOR are used when the hiring board gets together to review the interview results.

So what he said? Helps you get a interview and then at end of process? I really don’t know. Just relaying what I was told which is usually as valid as “I heard from CKA/jumpseat/van driver/flight attendant”

Guy spoke with recruiting guy who runs the program. He said that guys getting called have LOR's. Other officials have said the LOR's aren't reviewed until the final board meeting.

So LOR's appear to be a necessity to get called but aren't looked at until the end of the process.

The option is found on the profile summary page, right underneath those green check marks. You can make your application visible or invisible.

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!

When we submit the rec there is an option for us to check that allows you to see that we submitted the rec. If your buds didn’t select that option you won’t be able to see them.

On the first page after log in (Profile Summary) about 3/4 of the way down the page under Profile Visibility there are 2 options: Published and Draft Mode. Select Published.

I only had one LOR. But I called about 10 days after it got submitted. Hard for me to think that it didn't strengthen my application on the front end.

AA Internship
 
Would anyone know the perks of being an AA intern with the CP’snoffice? How much an advantage does this give you when applying outside the flow?

Thanks!

An internship in a base CPO can be great, but what might be even better is working at GSW. Much higher chances of interacting with Kimball, Chip, DT of Pilot Recruitment etc. Plus, all the Chiefs come to Dallas every so often, and solid networking skills could theoretically give you facetime with most or even all of them by the time the internship is over.
