I just received an interview invite last night for a March 20th interview. Reading through my packet it says bring no more than 3 letters of recommendations. I have one letter of recommendation in hand but waiting to hear back for the other two. Surely I can pick up the other 2 letters of recommendations before I leave Wednesday morning but has this ever been a show stopper for anyone who has interviewed in the past?

If you're on the 190, you're going to fly more legs per day, no question. Many of the trips are in the NE, and you'll be very familiar with DCA, BUF and BWI. But there are no transcontinental red eyes. That fact alone makes it worth it for me.
^^^^^^100% agree ^^^^^

I agree no Redeyes in the 190.

Please do not worry about the Rec's at all. It is a non event. They are great to have but certainly not show stoppers! Being prepared for the interview and having all required documents and info is way more important! Oh yea..... Don't forget your A game! Good Luck!

The one nice thing is they are great for commuting home on the last day. Finish a redeye at 7am, pass out and sleep like a baby on a non-rev home.

But yea... They are generally horrible

They called on a Saturday night?

Did you do Vets in Blue last weekend?

Congrats and good luck!

Thank you for the advise Hyperboy! Trying to stay focused on the interview and company history. Yes I attended Vets in Blue & WAI. No phone call the interview invite came via email. Driving 6 hrs to fly JetBlue to the interview so I get hands on experience of the company & crew-members.

Good luck with the interview CindyPilot! Remember, they are calling you in for the interview because they want to hire you. One suggestion I read somewhere...bring a protein bar or something with you because it's going to be a long day. Good luck and enjoy the experience. I interviewed back in Feb and really enjoyed the entire experience.
