None of them are looked at until you interview.

I believed what MainlineAF said which was they don't get looked at until the interview HOWEVER after the latest Arrival edition I know longer believe that.
This is what they said. "Current American pilots also play a key role at this stage. We know they’re the best, so we offer them the chance to submit personal references. These references add significant value to candidate profiles and are considered early on in the process."
That takes place before the online interview. So I think things have changed and internal LOR's do matter now which is good!!!
Best of luck to everyone that applies.

Mil fighter background. Applied last October, got the email for the video interview last week. Accomplished the interview Friday morning, haven't heard since.
My buddy, same background, applied at the same time, got the email the same day. Did his interview yesterday and got the 2nd email this morning for additional info.
Not sure if this is bad news for me that I haven't heard anything and he has, but definitely good for him!

Initial Email
I applied in September. I just read that the initial email is titled Support Department. I usually do not open email in my junk box that I do not recognize. I get hundreds per month. That said I vaguely remember an email with that title but it is no longer in my mailbox. (Auto delete)
Will they send it again if no response in a given amount of time?

I'd suggest if you are applying to check your junk mail on a regular basis and open anything that might be from the airline. There are literally thousands of applicants and the pilot recruitment offices assume that if you don't respond, then you are no longer interested or have found other employment.
