How 'bout buying Rosetta Stone when you get to Shanghai?!! Real cheap, I promise, and it might even work when you get home.

We don't go very often to France...mostly Germany, Holland, and Italy.

Nice. Well then, I may have to select Itialian. So what is the process if someone has an internal recommendation? Does it really help? It seems at other carriers, friends of mine have said that inter rec's really do not help at Albany more...that it is a thing of the past.

Asked earlier and answered most recently on another forum site by atpcliff (thanks)...

Quote...
According to email from last year, an Atlas applicant with a recommendation is approximately 7x more likely to be hired than one without a recommendation.
Unquote...

gvinflight,

My quote refers to an email from the Company that explained the recommendation process now in place, and some data on the benefits of having someone vouching for you...

Good luck.

I've recommended four and four have been hired. I think the rec. letter goes a long way, but some several guys I've flown with had zero letters and still got the job. Put those apps. in, it's your job to lose.
