All professional pilots hired by Delta will already have 1 or more type ratings, college degree and verifiable work history. That’s the data points that have a verifiable correlation.

The whole (previous) interview process was conceived by the Hoffman consulting group to help Delta understand how to hire civilian pilots. It’s been proven over and over that pilots with previous 121 experience can successfully work at another 121 Airline. Shocker isn’t it!!!! It’s 2021 there are thousands of 121 pilots that Delta can hire from. Stymied antiquated processes will cause Delta to lose out on quality pilots. I applaud our HR for adapting and understanding reality.

PS
You can read about DAL’s hiring fears from Carl Hoffman himself. He notes it in this book.
