I was called with no internal references, no sponsor, no letters of rec, no job fair. I literally didn't know a soul that worked there. My resume isn't spectacular, probably average among friends (no Millenium Falcon flight time). Maybe I'm just proof that a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in a while, but it does happen.
Are you a white male?

What if an applicant worked as a logistics officer in the military, but not a pilot? Then later built 5,000 hours flying experience operating Part 121 with the airlines. Would a logistics company such as FedEx be interested in that applicant?

Every CP had a version. I was hired under the Bonderud system, then Jack Lewis came in and "meet and greets" became normal. Orlando Rosado brought a very test centric approach used at Delta, and Bill MacDonald's regime seemed to keep most of the same approach, but dropped the sim requirement. Now a new VP of flight ops probably has some ideas too....
I used to tell friends and clients relax...if you don't like the current system it will change in 24 months. That seems to be somewhat true. The interview process seems largely sound to me, and hasn't changed much. "How do you get the call...?", however is the million dollar quesiton and what seems to be in a perpetual state of flux.
Good luck to the persistent. It is a great place to make a living....
