Unknown. All I know is I received the auto reply email saying that the Rec has been received by the pilot hiring department. All 5 were buds separating/retiring from the AF that received their ATP via the non-CTP route.

I would like to think that if special consideration is being given to DAL ATP-CTP grads, it’s because the instructors have seen first hand how they respond to instruction, how they fly the sim, and what it’s like to sit next to them in the cockpit for 4 hours, and not just because they paid Delta for the sim time.
