I dont believe you use the link from airlineapps for anything other than internal recs from current DL employees as this sends the request to their company email. For external recs you simply fill out their contact info and employer directly.

If you have a rec. from a current Delta employee they need to use their company email address. (I.E. [email protected]) Most guy's never use this so you need to make sure they check it. That way the company knows the recommendation is coming from a current Delta employee

Well after looking into the addendum section a little further I saw this note:

"Delta Air Lines accepts professional recommendations from Delta employees as well as sources external to our company. Use this link to send a request to anyone wanting to submit a recommendation. You must know their email address. The recommender will be sent a detailed email that provides tools to generate the online recommendation."

Based on that, it sounds like externals are ok as well. Regardless, its the same email link, you either put someone in with a @delta.com or @xxxx.com email if they are external. Good to know.

Yes. This is the procedure I used for my two internal recs and it worked. I was trying to convey that to jetnfast as he seemed to think external (non DL employee) recs worked the same way. Thanks.

I just logged back in and looked at the addendum section as well. I think I confused the reference section at the bottom with external recs. I wonder if I did it incorrectly now?

I don't believe the internal rec needs to come from an @delta email. The link for the rec has the LOR provider give their title and date of hire IF they are delta pilots.
I've provided a number of recs and used my gmail.

A pretty picky question, but I'm doing all I can to get the attention of a recruiter. My 1st class medical is good for a year (I'm 32) but I'm wondering if a recruiter looks at a medical that is listed as being 6+ months from issue and sees it as expired? I know that's very minor, however I am going over my app with a fine tooth comb and don't want anything not looking right

Thanks

fisher,

I have heard updating your application regularly is favorable. I would personally update no later than monthly.

Hang in there.
