Does that make them bad pilots? If I gave them the written or cognitive test from the interview, I doubt they would do much better.
And many DAL wouldn't have made it through the NWA interview. All companies have their ins n outs. Use the Gouge, do the prep for THE airline you're interviewing w/ and practice practice practice.....It's also the luck of the draw who you may pull for the panel. Some personalities just don't match....That's the Karma card. Stay positive and good luck!!
