It seems that a vast majority of applicants are not new to the 121 world, they know how acars and cpdlc work, and are not naval aviators!
Maybe because they're not just testing your general knowledge but your attitude, decorum and professionalism? As has been stated ad infinitum by current DAL pilots here....if you get asked to interview, they know you can fly. If you take the approach that the questions are patronizing and ridiculous, we probably don't want you no matter how much 121 experience you have.
