The point I am making for the readers of this board are simply this: The target audience of these programs are woefully unprepared for that of which they are being judged by. Because of that, the success rate is/will be extremely low and those who are successful still have 2-3 years to ruin the opportunity if DAL doesn't kill for no reason first. Lastly and most importantly - 9E pilots shouldn't devote their energies or worries into these programs.
Color me skeptical, but I don’t believe you have the numbers. You may have been given a general idea of the success rate and are taking liberties with what that means. It seems obvious to me you want Propel to fail so your bias is shining through. Based on the notion that the universities haven’t been given the stats, I still refuse to believe anyone at 9E - except maybe the highest of managers - knows the true stats.
The success rate of those who actually interviewed is much higher than you’re implying. At Delta we don’t measure the success rate based on the number of people who apply, just those that interview. On that metric, it’s much better than you’re stating.
