Delta/Ual etc are trying to weed out candidates by using a silly app process to measure "precision" and "attention to detail" with. All they need to do is look at whose paid their dues, stuck with this business during hardships, and who really wants the job. To me, that is what an ideal candidate for hire is. Not some dude forced to join a women's or a minorities' organization to beg for a job. That is fake.
What awesome insight that would work great for a small flying op hiring a handful of pilots. Put out an advert, take a look at fifty resumes, make twenty phone interviews, call in fifteen to an in-person interview, and hire ten.
Now, upscale this to DAL, with a need to hire 1k this year, and a pile of maybe 10k apps that meet basic qual mins.
Come up with a process that finds the "dudes" (or dudettes) who meet your criteria without needing a legion of HR folks to do this, and you'll make more money than you will in the piloting business.
