Airport diagram.... J/K.. other than filling out the application online, how many internal recs does it take to get an interview? I have asked before and it seems to be the same as "how many licks it takes to get to the middle of a tootsie-pop" noboby really knows.. Maybe someone knows definatively...

I don't think having any set number of LORs has anything to do with getting your call. It has more to do with being in the "short stack" of applications. I had relatively few (4) when I was called, but had 13 when I interviewed a few weeks later.

I've got 3 internals and no luck so far. Being in the short stack is definitely the ticket. How a person gets into that stack is another question. Continue to improve yourself and your qualifications. One trend that I have noticed at Air Wisconsin is that a disproportionately large percentage of captains that have been leaving for bigger and better things have been check airman. The 3 that left last month were great people as well.

I can tell you how many licks it takes for your mom to...

I read Cheryl Cage's 'Checklist for Success', which had some really good pointers.

I only had 2 LOR's. One was from a good friend who is a CO pilot who really went to bat for me (went to the CP, etc.). I ended up in the short stack. I understand that updating frequently helps out as well. Just when I least expected it, I was called.

I read Gordon Bethunes "From Worst to First" and it was like a guideline of what Continental would like to see in their pilots. Very helpful, also gives you a great history of the company and a inside look at the companys culture.
