That has not been my experience with the panel. Generally, the more positive data points a candidate has with Delta, the better.
+ Always wanted to work for Delta
+ Already worked for Delta
+ Volunteered with a Delta charitable project
+ Worked with for a Delta subsidiary
+ Represented the Delta brand to customers
The panel objectively seeks Delta's "core values." Chief among these is a positive enthusiasm for Delta.
Entitlement isn't pretty and isn't a winning strategy. Perhaps that is what you thought you heard. From what I am hearing the reason many of the flows were not taken were objective failures on the tests ... which suggests a lack of preparation (perhaps due to a sense of entitlement ... why study, I'm in)
Also, Delta, like many mainline interviews are a league apart from express carrier interviews. If people are not actively working on preparations, both formal and informal, their chances of success are not high, no matter who they are.
