That's about the only way to weed out the large amount of undesirables at the top of their list who will never otherwise make the cut. If they were all given a free ride, what a slap in the face it would be to all who busted their butts and did all the right things to be invited in the front door here. It would surely hurt recruiting efforts doing forward and would be a mockery of the standards this company claims they uphold.
Ok Tropical , how old are you , like 25 or something ? How many hours did you get hired at Delta with ? Under 3000? How are pilots that have 20 to 30 years flying WO Metal with 30,000 hours “undesirable” ? and how is that kind of experience a free ride ? Double LOL. You haven’t busted your but anywhere near that kind of experience . You don’t know what’s happened in anyone’s life to judge and make that kind of statement. The last 10 years of hiring at majors doesn’t even require a simulator evaluation anymore during interviews. I would be much more concerned about all the low timers by the thousands that are hired by majors with minimal experience.
