After the 2 Feb classes there probably still be around 50 in the pool, plus however many furloughs come back this year.

It was my understanding the last furloughee returned in December. Can anyone vouch for that?

They’ve all been offered recall. As MoP mentioned, they now have a drop dead date.

Can’t remember the number, over 200 still?

Got a friend about to interview that has been a 121 CA for 10 years and lots of internal recs.

The market is still very competitive.

I feel like the hardest things to get on the app are the LOR. I fly for an AA regional and know zero people at UAL. Going to a job fair next month as a recruiter but I’m still doubtful I can get to know that many guys who would be willing to write a LOR.

But it wasn't so much about internals as it was that the person writing the rec could speak of/vouch for your character, integrity, contributions, etc.

But we all know pilots hired that had less than the magical 5 internals, but no shortage of externals. Which just echoes the bold.

So it's whatever magic formula gets past the computer screening.
