The much aligned DL interview actual fairly high pass rate in general, and a very, very high pass rate among those who actually prepare. A couple weeks of hard work and study, one time, for a job of this magnitude isn't too much to ask.
Showing up with a bag full of shirt pocket "logbooks" or cracking under 2 minutes of slight scenario pressure or just unprepared in general for a huge one/two day interview with millions at stake that you knew about in advance is unthinkable.
Gloopy, ALPA told our guys going to the first ssp interviews that it was just a formality, show up and the job is yours. The success rate is much higher now.
The bottom line is Delta has trouble attracting pilots for its regionals. It's now in crisis mode if they are throwing millions at 9E. So how do you attract people to work here when they can have better career expectations elsewhere?
