Called, good, Not called, not good. They won't call if you didn't make the cut at the interview. If they called, you made the cut, now your'e getting checked out to go to the next level. Some problems are discovered during background checks, this will be voted on at the hiring board. Just because you get a reference called, doesn't mean youv'e made it, it's just an indicator your proceeding through the process.
There have been a few who say their referencse were not called yet they were hired. I disagree, they just didn't know who the PD folks talked too.
I dont have any inside info on the subject but it seems that your references being called is never a bad thing but by no means is it a "your hired " thing either. A quick search has more than one guy or gal that had one or all references called and then got the "no thank you" letter.
On the same token i saw several posts where they said no references were called...and got the thumbs up....
I guess you really dont know until you either get a phone call or a letter...either way best of luck to you guys...
Rec letters can be from anyone. They specifically want someone who has flown with you or who can attest to your flying ability. When I went to the pilot open house they told us a good rec would come from someone who knew you for a long period and could attest to your flying ability.
If you know anyone in the company they can put online recs in for you but only AFTER you get put on the interview list. We were also told the online recs could count for your 3 letters if you needed them to.
