Advice on who to use as a reference when applying for airline jobs?
Just wondering what everyone's experience is when it comes to who to use as a referee in the application process, particularly for those who are moving on from piston jobs to airline work?
Context of the question - the owners/head of operations/chief pilots etc in today's environment are often quite salty about the fact that their pilots are moving on so quickly these days and would (in many cases) have no interest in providing a positive reference or even take a phone call from the HR dept of the company who is 'stealing' their talent.
