Amen. I had one and it was external. LORs aren't going to save you if you don't interview well.

I had three from former chief pilots. They didn't even ask to see them and I never had a chance to give them to them. I was pretty early in the process so maybe things have changed but I still got the job. But don't get me wrong, I would still bring some.

Sorry if we did such a thing. The only advise I an able to give is what worked for me. Do what works for you.

I'm having this same issue. It allows me to upload an updated resume, but when I click to preview my newly updated resume, it continues to give me the old one. Has anyone found a solution to this? How do you update your resume at US Airways?

Try to upload it, but don't preview it. After it's done go back and check to see if it's your new resume.

This may help to put in perspective how important they are: I brought none and was hired. That was probably dumb on my part, but it worked out. I'd bring them if you can, but they don't seem to be clutch.

I had 3 letters that I brought to the interview. One from my current boss, one from an AA pilot, and one from an Airways pilot. The interviewers specifically mentioned how impressed they were with 2 of the letters. I was hired and I think well written letters will help.

This worked. You have to click "Continue" before clicking Preview. Thanks Snoopy!
