The one airline where I actually have some awesome contacts is AA. Family, friends, etc. Despite all of those internal recs, there's not a thing ANY of them can do until I get an interview. It is (supposedly) entirely HR driven. After you get an interview, the contacts help.

She did what she wanted to do... Applied and passed military flight training. Applied to Skywest and passed training. Is that hard work you bet but not any more difficult than all the others who've done it before and after her. It's good PR for AA that this happened that's all.

If I gave years of solid service at a legacy and had a child who was a pilot, I'd feel entitled to have the pull to get him/her hired, too.

Good on her for achieving her goal and that's pretty cool she got to fly with her dad (a good friend of mine recently got to fly with his dad at another Legacy).
