I would find it very hard to believe that an unbiased computer program would drop this candidates name into the invite group without someone actively going in and doing it.
Have to agree here. Not doubting that what the OP wrote, but from a PR point of view, how would Delta explain it to the public if there were an incident/accident involving the pilot who Delta hired with 4 check ride busts, no how matter how insignificant they may seem to you or me. We live in a transparent world where everything is put under a microscope and this would be very difficult to explain away.
