While not a straight flow, if the pilot has a good record of low failures, low sick calls, low discipline, they would be selected. Again, this is what is proposed...
Isn't a guaranteed interview enough of an advantage?! 10K other pilots are waiting in line behind the 9E SSP for the same chance to take the same tests and get scored in order to get hired at DL. If 9E pilots have a high washout rate, there's plenty of other candidates to choose from. Nobody knows why some guys get the job offer and some guys don't..could be several reasons...but 9E pilots who are not selected at DL have plenty of 121 TPIC to land at the top of the interview stack of AA, UCAL, JBLU, SWA, NKS, FDX, UPS, ect.. Should 9E pilots get special treatment and be exempt from their hiring filters as well just because they use mainline checklists and CRM? I don't think so..And DL shouldn't lower standards to allow pilots who failed the test to get hired anyway as a result of some new "checklist standardization". If DCI pilots are the same as mainline and have been doing the same job for many years, as many on this forum have argued, there shouldn't be any problem getting a job at several mainlines, especially in the current hiring environment..JMHO
