I dont know anyone inside!!! Do I have chance????

No, no , no. We're 83% the airplane that they are.

Of course. I was hired with zero internal recs.

So what aircraft does more Europe flying? I need to work on my French.

How 'bout buying Rosetta Stone when you get to Shanghai?!! Real cheap, I promise, and it might even work when you get home.

We don't go very often to France...mostly Germany, Holland, and Italy.

Nice. Well then, I may have to select Itialian. So what is the process if someone has an internal recommendation? Does it really help? It seems at other carriers, friends of mine have said that inter rec's really do not help at Albany more...that it is a thing of the past.

According to email from last year, an Atlas applicant with a recommendation is approximately 7x more likely to be hired than one without a recommendation.

Interesting. Thanks for grabbing that one.

gvinflight,

My quote refers to an email from the Company that explained the recommendation process now in place, and some data on the benefits of having someone vouching for you...

Good luck.

Thanks 74, I've been digging across this thread (again) and pprune, but I can't seem to find it. I haven't had a call, but I'm definitely in "firehose myself" mode...we will see! Hopin for the call and workin for the best outcome!

I've recommended four and four have been hired. I think the rec. letter goes a long way, but some several guys I've flown with had zero letters and still got the job. Put those apps. in, it's your job to lose.
