Continential Airlines question...

you dont ask him yourself, get your friend who knows him to ask him on your behalf. If your friend is a true friend, I would hope that he would want to do this for you.

That's a good way to put your "true friend" on the spot and make him think twice about your friendship. I think the criteria for a recommendation is that you can attest to the applicant's flying skills or for a personal reference, you have to have known the person for ten years.

ACwild,

You do not have to had known the person 10yrs....to get on the A list you must have flown with the person and think, besides the person being of great character, that you could handle flying with him or her on a 3 or 4 day trip.

 

[ACWild]

I thought it was either/or. For instance, if you flew with the person, it would be a professional reference. That's the one that I've had to fill out for some friends through an e-mail from the AirApps site. Then you have the personal references who you're supposed to have known for ten years. Like I said, I'm not sure.

Really it's up to the person who walks in the rec. The one certainty is that you must have actually flown with the person to get them on the "A" list. I've walked in a few rec's and had conversations with a couple of different ACP's, and they tell me that you must have flying exp. with that person, that person must have adeq. multi PIC time. They are also concerned with reasons that you left previous positions. They are concerned about people grabbing a type and leaving. If I rec. someone and they leave for another airline, I don't think they would accept anymore recs. from me. Personally that person would not get anymore recs. from me!!
