Charlie Venema is the founder of CheckedAndSet, a great resource for any pilots who are currently applying for jobs. In the episode we talk about letters of recommendation, references, and how to make sure you application is air tight before hitting that final submit button.

We thought this episode would be relevant because 18 months into the pandemic, every airline is hiring like gangbusters, so there is a lot of opportunity for any pilots who are looking to begin their career or shift into the commercial airline space. So if you are caught off guard with this hiring wave and you don’t have everything to go yet to apply for your dream job, then this episode will be a great listen for you as you are checking all the boxes on your applications.

8:05 - The ins and outs of references and recommendations on airline applications

17:08 - Who should you ask when looking for professional recommendations?

21:23 - Can someone be a reference and a recommendation?

27:51 - How to get an advantage before your application is even published

29:30 - What happens after you submit your application to an airline? (hint, you’re not finished yet!)
