What do you mean by "not interviewable"? Do they not have enough Turbine time? No college degree? Criminal records? I just don't see how so many people would take the time to apply when they aren't even "interviewable." If they want pilots they either need to lower their standards or raise the pay to steal away other mainline pilots. I know plenty of good people they got turned down for whatever reason and are at other mainline carriers and some that went to Northwest and ironically are now at Delta.
