As someone with a lack of recent currency in my military job and one internal rec from a friend I've not known long or flown with, I didn't go there very optimistic. I must say that after sitting down with someone very senior in the company while I was at OBAP, I feel much better about my chances. He looked at my application and we had a frank discussion about my lack of currency. He said my resume is good enough that it shouldn't matter, and to expect a call early next year when the hiring starts up again. He also asked if I had an application in on Pilot Credentials and I said yes....he opens up a yellow folder and my name is right there on the second page! The note next to it said "nice application" or something along those lines.
Of course, until there's an interview invite, this is all just talk. But it felt a lot better than the guy over at American who literally was kicking me in the nuts underneath the table while he was inferring that I had no business talking to them. It was also way better than the junior F.O. over at UPS that didn't do much more than ask me TMAAT questions.
