Completely disagree. Recommendations do in fact make a BIG difference. I've been here for just over a year, during which time I've written four letters. All four received a phone call from SF within a week or two of submission.
Although I suppose it could also just be a coincidence, it's been my experience that letters carry a lot of weight around here.

Not too hot to which extent: number hired/offered the job or in terms of quality of candidates?

. . . the most stressful and unpleasant ground school experience I've ever slogged through. The 10 hour days were (still are) a wasted effort; anything after 4pm was in one ear and out the other, which was too bad, because there was good information there for cargo and military guys with little to no prior passenger operation experience. There was no time to decompress, no time to build camaraderie with the rest of your class, no time to study for the next day; you were simply wiped out each day coming back from the schoolhouse. ESPECIALLY if you relied on hotel transportation for a ride. I can't remember how many times we were still waiting nearly an hour after class for pickup. . . .

- 99% of Captains @ Spirit have more Airbus time than the entire ground training department AND the entire Flight Ops department . . . combined
- FTD's and sims are taught by line pilots on the seniority list

Ever been trained at FSI? It's safe to say almost 99% of there instructors have NEVER touch the aircraft they train. FSI is the premium sim training company in the world. I know most if not all airlines use instructors that have never flown the aircraft. Surprise!
