I'm not 100% sure whether the application reviewer can track the history and changes on your app (but I doubt he/she can). However, you should note a recent important change airlineapps.com made on the website. It used to automatically update your "application date" when you logged in to the website but now you have to do it manually and hit the "application update" button (or whatever it calls) to give your application the most recent update.

How many people can DAL pilots recommend? I don't have family or any family friends in the industry so finding a DAL pilot rec will be tough for me. Not sure how to obtain one if they only are allowed to give 1 or something.
Also, I'm a new 121 pilot just want to get my app in early. Is it too early to apply without the recommendations, time, volunteer organizations? I'm afraid IF they look at it say no then as I update it not getting looked at again? How does that work?
Thanks

A recommendation just gets your APP scored quicker. Apps will eventually get scored even without a recommendation.

Okay, thanks. If I get scored and then update my app will I have a chance to get rescored?

If you don't yet meet the time, or other published requirements, I recommend not using an internal rec until you do. As you said, you don't want to unintentionally put yourself in a year-long holding pattern. Good luck!

With regards to internal recs, the only limit is that the DAL pilot can give you only one every 12 months (he/she can give unlimited recommendations for different candidates).
It is never too early to fill out an application, I filled out mine as soon as I completed training in my first part 121 job. I was way below minimums and didn't even had a degree back then but I continuously update my app and once I got the time and my degree I got call within 3 months (be aware that applications that don't meet the minimums are not accessible for review) but it will play in your favor when you do get the call once you do meet the minimums.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to PM me.
Good luck!

I didn't had any internal rec and I got the interview after I went to a Fair. Happy Delta pilot for the last couple of months.
Get your homework, once you are competitive start going to Fairs.

Okay great thanks! I've done some research now and meet all the requirements besides flight time and volunteer organizations. Wanted to get it submitted now since I know that's viewed positively. Thanks for all your help, I'll definitely come back for any questions!

Completely agree, fill the App and update it every couple of weeks. But if you don't hear from them, it's a good way to get started.
