Hello everyone, I am prior military and current 121 at a regional. I have just filled out my airlineapps right now for Delta. My buddy is saying it is imperative that I have a contact within the company for the letter of recommendation but I don't know anyone that works at Delta. What should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

And picking random jumpseats is probably not the most efficient way to do it.

Also, I never saw DAL specifically at any job fairs.
But yes, network. An internal rec will get your application looked at, so make sure your timing of the internal recommendation is right and your application is perfect. Pulling that trigger too early (incomplete app, outside 60 days from your availability date) might result in your app going back in the stack.

I know that I fully welcome hearing from old buds, and helping folks out is really the only reason I keep the account open, now that I have my airline job.
PS (4fans) don't limit yourself to just Delta, apply to all the majors and get a bird in hand if you can.
