clue.
A friend tells me:
"A recommend is a very good thing at this point.
However, ATA has always given the job to the guy or gal who is "relentless" and goes the "Extra Mile".
Send a resume and wait? You'll NEVER be hired.
Call, write, show up in person: WEEKLY....Network with ATA pilots, kiss some corporate ass, show them you will live and die to get a job with them, if you get an app. send it back the NEXT day, FEDEX, 9:00am delivery...That's what they wanna see."

They hired my friend when he was TOTALLY unqualified, in a hiring market (VERY) similar to this... Wars, furloughs, bankruptcy's (how the HELL do you spell THAT word? Nothing looks right!) and outright failures. If you remember your history it was 1991-93...
This "biness" is SO predictable,
