I am guessing if you failed a private pilot checkride way back in your career and forgot to put it on the app now is the time to put it on before the interview. I am sure it will be addressed. Mistake’s happen on these airline apps.

For whatever it’s worth, I don’t think either situation is a dealbreaker, I’d just figure out a good explanation on what happened. I know many people who have made minor changes between invite and interview and all of them are flying Delta planes now.

I personally know someone who was hired with zero PIC time, fwiw.

The app won't be scored until it meets certain requirements that include all the "must haves." Qnd as involved as airline apps is, the sooner you start on it the better. It also drops off after 30 days without an update.

Good catch…I need to RTFQ.
With the way our scoring works (once a year by a person), I personally would recommend waiting until a pilot has hit the mins on any requirements. If it’s just a preferred min that you haven’t met, I’d submit ASAP. Just my .02.
