In my opinion, the quote above about re-scoring an ap when they get an internal rec is correct. Part of that is based on the source of the quote and part of that is based on the idea that DAL values their pilots' inputs and if one of their own is willing to take the time to submit an internal rec on someone, if the rec sits on a shelf for (possibly) up to 12 months, they are in essence completely ignoring what their valued employee has to say. I just don't see Delta doing that.
However the process works, I'm just extremely grateful I was able to get the interview!
I can only imagine how much more work would be generated if they scored an app every time someone made a recommendation. Unless something drastic has changed we were told at the job fairs by AK himself that an app is only scored once a year. So if they have 10,000 applications on file and have only reviewed half of them they certainly don't have the time to just keep reviewing apps because a month later another rec comes in. Seems right to me that they don't have the resources to keep scoring apps especially when it's only a month later and most of the time nothing has changed.
