Any process you have misses out on qualified pilots. How do you rate the "most qualified"? Is a guy with 10,000 hours but a total ass more qualified than a guy with 2000 F-18 hours but the greatest guy in the world. That's why I like the face to face, referral system. I dont want to leave it up to a computer to pick them, and I don't think the Delta method of interviewing 100 to get 30 is good either. By the time our guys get to the interview they have already been screened a minimum of 3 times. We end up hiring about 80-90 percent of the guys/gals who interview.
