If you think for a minute that the thumbs up criteria for them to compass and the current interview at Delta is the same you are kidding yourself. Again, they might just be fine pilots but....different panel expectations. Again most in the panel were low time regional fo's and cfi's verses very experienced mil pilots and regional/national rj captains at the mainline interview with many more years under thier belt to screw up, explain and share.
When the CZ flow was intact, it was very competitive to get on there. Most hired were very high time regional captains. I don't know of any CFI's or regional FO's who got on at CZ when the flow thru was still in place. Yes it has changed now. With the flow being gone and being owned by TSA, they are scrapping the bottom of the barrel with low time regional FO's and CFIs.
