Well of course not, but maybe his attitude behind not wanting to meet up spilled over into his performance. Maybe he was super nervous and trying to cram every last second of studying in, maybe he was anti-social, maybe he was cocky and over-confident, who knows.
All I’m saying is that in some cases when you find out a certain person was cut you can think back and see the possible red flags showing they might not do well.

Saying someone didn't get the job because they slam clicked the night before is about as dumb as saying they didn't get the job because they weren't wearing a blue suit and red tie. The truth is that the hiring process is a complete mystery to all but those who run it and we make crap up to try and make it make sense. Because thats what pilots do.

I don’t know of anyone doing 220 training in Miami. Our class 220 peeps have about 3 weeks after indoc before they start sims.

I think it was MCO not MIA that we were using for 220 sims, and to my knowledge, that is no longer.
I don’t think AB in MIA has 220 sims

They sent it over that morning while he was on the phone and he got indoc invite that afternoon.
I would reach out to background check company ASAP and if you don't hear back from them in a day or two, shoot DL Pilot Hiring and email so they are aware of the delay.

I hang out randomly at Spondivits, Malone’s, and Ruby Tuesday judging how quickly interviewees order the beer amongst the group and report back to pilot hiring

Man after reading through some of this thread, you peeps gotta chill out and just interview. Don’t listen to past stories of doom and gloom from the hiring department at the big D. The interview is way chill and these folks want to hire you. Don’t worry about all this logbook nonsense, don’t highlight and tab or whatever that was all about. Just show up to the interview feeling good and looking good, be yourself and everything else will fall in place.

I think I had green tabs for check rides, yellow for a failure, and blue for each time I changed aircraft type. Sort of the “chapters” of my career. Used a cheap label maker to title the tabs as my hand writing is awful. Not that any of this is required or necessary.
But yeah, they’re normal people and want to hire you!
