Especially considering most, if not all of those on the street are 744 typed.
A noble idea, but us line guys have little or nothing to do with the hiring process. I doubt the union has much pull either. HR runs it the way they want it. That said, through anecdotal evidence, it seems as though a good number of NA/World/SA guys have been called to interview. But you have to consider I've heard we received way north of 5,000 resumes from this app window, with something like 2% hired.
