I felt I had a great pitch (family in BOS and MCO and intended to move to the former and never commute) and could answer any question he asked me (5 core values, bases, etc). That was about three weeks ago. A week after I followed up with the recruiter I spoke to via email and he told me that "you got my vote so you should receive a call."

Moral of the story: well, it aint finished yet so I have no idea. That said, having a genuine interest in the airline and really wanting to work there, paired with taking the time to go find a recruiter may make up for having a "meh" resume.

We'll see.

Edit: Also, what aewanabe said. You're probably closer to the mark than I am. I'm well aware that if I hadn't gone and met them and pulled that off well that I'd probably never get called.

I am a little tired and disappointed I can not get an interview. Hopefully you have better luck than me

If that's the case, it definitely works in my favor, and perhaps not so much in yours. Who knows.....

I'm also upgrading soon here at my own shop, so I can relate to that aspect as well.

Did you make it to any job fairs? NGPA is in January and WIA is in March. It's never too late I guess.
