I believe I have heard that it is better if a rec. is sent using the company address that nobody uses. i.e. [email protected]

 

Ok, I'll see if it can be changed just to cover my bases either way. Thanks for your responses

 

The airlineapps request for recommendation sends an autogenerated email to the delta email address.

When the delta employee opens the email, it gives him/her a format in which to write. Once the employee is done, they submit the recommendation and it is done. It is instantly updated on airlineapps and the applicant can see that it is done.

It is very streamlined and user friendly.

 

Ok great, thanks. Just had one of my recommendations open it up, looks like they, the person doing the recommending, have to enter their email on the request form and since none of them actively use their DL accounts they put in their personal acct so they could be reached. If this helps anyone--even though I the DL hopeful, sent their request to the Delta employee's email though airlineapps, maybe ask your recommender to kindly key in their Delta email in the body of the form to enhance visibility to Delta as mentioned.
Many thanks all

 

I don't use my company email account except for the purpose of accessing an email there from airlineapps for writing a rec. Really easy to access from the DLNET web page.

 

About 8 months ago I called the ATL INT. Chief Pilot to ask what is the best way to input a letter of recommendation for an applicant. He told me you (the Delta employee) MUST use your Delta.com email address to send a letter of recommendation, through Airline Apps.com.

He said the reason for that was, that is the only way the hiring board can verify you (the letter writer) are actually a Delta Employee.

I had never before in my life used my Delta email, so I had to activate it and low and behold, there were already about 1000+ emails in my in box, from Corporate Communications, about every bright idea and fragrant fart Richard ever had. Why do we pay these guys for that???

After I spent an hour deleting those, I had to call my budd, give him my "Delta Email" address so he could use it on his Airline Apps. com, then an email rec. request from Airline Apps showed up in my Delta inbox and I was finally able to write a letter of rec. for my buddy, and yes, it has to come/go through Airline Apps. to your Delta inbox before you can write it.

Oh...the rest of the story?

My budd got hired at US Air 6 months ago and is flying A320 F/O there today. He's young and at the front of the wave, so if they ever get merged with AA, I think he'll be fine.

 

Anyone know if the first class of 50 returning furloughs started yet? Is it one class or multiple throughout the month?

 

lemme guess Chris.... when you signed up for APC, you accidentally put your email in where is said "create user name"

 

yes, how did you know!

 

My buddy, an AF2 guy, got hired today. Awesome dude. Will be a tremendous asset for us!
