5000 TT, 2000 TPIC, none of those 3 groups.
Dad was an NW pilot that retired in 2004, and I was hired by DL a year and a half before the merger was even announced. DL didn't know nor care who my dad was.
I had 2 referrals from retired non mgmt line pilots.
Not many of the people I know of that got interviewed fit in your 3 hook up categories. In fact, they are very much a minority of who gets called for interviews. Last round the hard floor for an interview no matter gender, race, or who mom/dad is was 4000 hours. The pilots' kids appeared to have a horrible pass rate in the interview. I know some were hired, but every one of them that I know did not get hired.
