I think LORs are great, people wrote them for me to help me get hired and I really appreciate that they did. I'm just trying help everyone along.

I wrote a letter for a guy who worked for me while I was only a couple months in this company. He got an interview and is now on property. Coincidence? Possibly. Bottom line: if you've got the "tier one" application and ANY Delta pilot writes a letter of wreck (having flown with said person is a must...) their app will most likely get a look.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.

If you'd of had the same days of availability then you would have gotten the trip. At least that's what it sounds like to me.

A while back there was a post about how to prevent being awarded a carryover trip or how to stay on the low end of the LCW. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
