Apparently, the test was given to a selected group/cross sectioin of UAL pilots before the hiring process began. Then the overall/general personality traits were garnered from that, making it the "measuring stick" so to speak going forward.

As well as at DAL, they've had mil guys NOT get through the MMPI and/or psych eval on day 2. However, this hiring round the amount people they've let RETAKE the MMPI on day 2 is pretty high. Versus the past where if the MMPI was out of bounds, they'd get the TBNT/FOAD.
One key difference is that AT LEAST DAL will do the face to face interview with the pilot FIRST, before administering the psych stuff. In other words, they AT LEAST meet the pilot face to face as opposed to screening the pilot out over the interwebz.....

Sadly, in EVERY round of hiring they've ALWAYS been there. Not in large numbers at all, and actually a minority of the new hires in just about ANY airline's new hire class. However, THIS hiring round seems to see the MOST of them on average relatives to hiring waves past.
Donning my flame suit now...........
......although there's A LOT of great people in the 10,000+ applicant stack, I'd agree with your point. There are TONS of VERY experienced pilots NOT getting called. I run into many, I know many, and this board as well as others are full of them. For RIGHT HERE, and RIGHT NOW, there's PLENTY of guys with PIC/AC/LCA/IP/EP/STANDEVAL/NATOPS and whatever time that are ALSO saving kittens on their time off when their not attending job fairs, AND STILL NOT GETTING A CALL.
