I was told, if you were given the rec out of the 25/year (I think that's the # he said) that you would not get an airlineapps write up. I was given the congrats email from the CPO that I was chosen for the rec. No airlineapps writeup was done.

I interviewed 7 months later and was hired.

Interesting...he didn't mention this during the meeting. Mine was ORD for what it is worth. How long after the meet & greet did you receive the email from the CPO? Also was this recently?

CP meet and greet
 

Mine (EWR- now retired) told me he would at least write me an Airlineapps LOR. My meet and greet was the beginning of the month so he wanted to meet with other applicants before he decided which two got the “silver bullet” (Letter directly to hiring). He never wrote an AirlineApps rec, but almost a year later I got the email that he submitted a rec to the hiring dept. I got an invite about 9 months later (6-7 of those months they weren’t hiring, so I guess you can consider that 3 months after submission to invite?) The big letter is not a guaranteed invite though, just applies a certain number of points to your app, usually enough to move you to the short stack if you’re close.

Ok so the Airline Apps recommendation is completely different than the recommendation that gets sent directly to the hiring department? My Airline Apps recommendation was submitted fairly quick after the meet & greet, but no mention of an additional recommendation. Maybe this is something that doesn't happen that quick or maybe not at all in my case... just trying to speculate what might happen next.

Hey guys, anyone since the last post have some experiences or info to share in regards to this process?

Cheers!

What are you specifically asking about? How to get a M&G or what it's like when you get one?

Anything. People have written what its like or how it is, seems to depend on situation to situation. I think the thing that is not really clear is what or how much does it actually help along in the process/ to what extent does it help to join the team, assuming you don't make a complete fool of yourself of course. :D

Just go in, enjoy the moment, and be yourself. Keep in mind you might not be the one screwing it up. Chew on that for a minute or two.

I don't think the M&G process is the mysterious part. It's pretty straightforward. Think of it as a mini-interview and realize the importance of being yourself through the M&G.

The mysterious part is what happens (or yet, how it happens) after the M&G. In my case, I met with him toward the end of the month and a couple days later, he called my sponsor (the guy who walked me in) and told him he just got off the phone with HR and he was giving me the "silver bullet" or whatever you wanna call it. They apply the additional points to your app and a week later, my app was pulled and got the Hogan invite. I don't think anybody knows the weight of the M&G, but I imagine it means a lot.
