Bad idea. I was a cheapskate who thought he was so smart by making two free accounts on airline apps. I made accounts for each airline and had letters of recommendation on both.

Then after the first year it locked both accounts. I was forced to either pay for both accounts or pay for one and lose the letters of rec I had on the other account. The last thing you want to do is ask guys to resubmit a letter of rec after they already did you a big favor in writing you one.

Just did the on-line app on the website.

Hope this isn't a dumb question but the application asks how many "training failures" one has had.

Is a failed check ride a "training failure" in their minds???

That's why I said single account app for one year is free. If you're going to apply to multiple airlines, why would you fill out the same thing over and over again, especially with separate LORs? In this case you have to pay up.

If you are doing two apps at the same time for free, they have to be created under separate accounts and then updated separately and are both good for one year. After that, you have to re-apply or pay on both accounts to activate them further.

Is it the question that asks not to include Private through CFI right?

These are real questions that need answering depending on one's QOL goals.
If you are at a regional, then there is not much of a QOL question. If one west coast carrier is commutable, then the other can't too far of a stretch either.

I'm also morally opposed to blah blah blah. Pony up for Airline Apps and if/when you get UAL or DAL, you can cry me a river when you are at $130K on your second year.
