Here's one

November 01, 2005
Southwest Airlines
P.O. Box 36644
Pilot Recruitment
Dallas, TX75235

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to recommend Mr. John Doe for a pilot position with Southwest Airlines. As a fellow classmate and friend of John during College at Alaska State University, I feel I can speak of his character, leadership, and professionalism in the aviation environment.

I have known John for about ten years and have flown with him many times. I gave him flight instruction for his Instrument, Commercial, and CFI ratings. He was an excellent student whom I enjoyed working with. He was always prepared and ready to accept new challenges.

John is a person who has the qualities that Southwest is looking for. He is a very hard worker who is determined to get any job done. He has been very dedicated to his aviation career. He has worked his way up from a flight instructor, to flying a King Air, to a Captain at Independence. His personality will enable him to get along well with fellow employees, as well as passengers. Mr. Doe would make an excellent addition to the Southwest family.

John Doe is an outgoing young man who would be a great asset to the airline. I hope you agree and offer him an opportunity to work for Southwest. Thank you for your time.

You may contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,


Oliver Clothesoff

To Whom it may Concern:

It was my distinct pleasure to fly with WTF Over while at Infitesimal Air. It took a while to bring him up to speed in our operation but soon he was chain smoking and cursing with the best of us. After a while I didn't even have to tell him to call out five minutes early.

WTF was an absolute hoot on long overnights. One night the barmaid accused us of being a bunch of pirates to which he instantly replied "Arrggg wench, bring us more beer". He can without a doubt run with the big dogs,
drink with the fishes and is really good with the ladies.

His skills as a pilot are outstanding, even when hung over and suffering from lower back distress caused by taking on the big one and leaving the hot one for the senior crewmember. I have never, in fact, heard anyone that could make better radio calls while wearing the oxygen mask. One of the best First Officers I ever had the pleasure to drink with.

Following his successful upgrade to Captain he continued, nay even exceeded the levels of debauchery that he had been so rigorously taught and to my knowledge continues to set a fine example.

I believe that WTF-Over will be an excellent addition to your pilot group and give him my highest possible recommendation without reservation.

I am at the bar should you have any questions regarding this letter.



Sincerely,

J. Wellington Belchfire

Good luck on the interview!!!

Dear Ms. Floozie:

John Doe is a pillar of the community and deserves a slot at ExpressJet Airlines. His extreme excellence would serve our airline in a most exquisite fashion. Basically, you’d be a moron not to seriously consider his immediate hiring and subsequent promotion to executive management.

John has vowed to leave all Midwestern communities he has resided in the past to live in one of our lovely bases making him easily available for any junior manning. Of course who wouldn’t want to live in Houston with its humid hot summer climate and hazy high air pollution, or Newark with its obnoxious Northeasterners, extreme population density and garbage smell, or Cleveland with its city on the brink of bankruptcy and its overcast cloud coverage day after day after day after day during the many winter months.

John is gay. This would mesh well with our many gay male flight attendants. John is looking forward to some long overnights with those certain special galley guys. Gay means happy, right? Happy employees = happy customers = mo money for our fabulous airline. And of course with him not reproducing, no need for the company to provide health care coverage to more little ones.

John is a man of faith. Just the other day, he was telling me how he was looking forward to the opportunity to utilize code share pass privileges to travel to Mecca. He also seems enthusiastic about becoming a Federal Flight Deck Officer so he may “protect the cockpit”. His compassion through his faith has meant numerous past donations to various charities in the Mideast. The only thing about his faith he doesn’t look forward to he tells me is his near prophetic future meeting with 70+ virgin women. Reference the last paragraph. Knowing John though, he’ll have fun trading beauty tips.

John handles mechanical problems very well. He has encountered and successfully dealt with multiple single engine failures in a complex Kia Sportage transportation vehicle. His task driven mentality thrives in those moments, so our underpaid mechanics can take a breather.

I feel John would be a titanic accomplishment for our airlines hiring department. Don’t let this one get away. Just remember if you don’t hire John, I’ll be sick.



Sincerely,

Richard N. Santana
ExpressJet First Officer

Alright that s some funny stuff. But I need dome more serious ones. Please. Any would be appreciated. Thanks to those who have posted. It's a big help.
Has any one every used a service before??

There's no 'correct' way

 

[belchfire]

There's no 'correct' way

Short, succinct, mention positive attributes that you can attest to (drinks with the fish, runs with the big dogs, etc.)

Nothing negative or that can be construed to be negative (drinks with the fish, runs with the big dogs, etc).

Business format, Arial or Arial Black font, 11 pitch.

Formal but personable (probably the toughest thing)

Canned is out-they (you know, them, they're ba$tards) will see through that in a heart beat.

The first couple were good examples of format. You have to fill in the words, we can't do that for you! (Well, I could, but then you'd have to bring me 2 bottles of Laphroaig or Lagivulin and you don't want to do that).
