They stand at L2 and yell "ARE YALL READY YET?"

I liked the old pole up to the window trick myself.

No one that I know of had any effort pushed toward them to do EtD instead of the regular DL interview.

With that that thought in mind, try keeping the cabin temps in your SA. No GOOD sense waiting till five minutes to push to start the APU, if a hot, stuffy cabin just p**sed off 100+ pax.

The Flight Dispatch Release Acknowledgement (FDRA) process is being revised to allow crews to complete the FDRA hand-off much earlier in the departure process. This change will allow ACS personnel to focus more attention on passenger accommodations and the proper flight close-out process during a high workload time by eliminating the requirement to visit the flight deck to retrieve the FDRA. The Captain is jointly responsible with the gate agent to ensure the proper completion of the FDRA and the collection of all signatures is accomplished. The ACS agent will not close the main cabin door until receipt of the FDRA and the required verbal confirmation by the Captain is obtained. An All Pilot Bulletin defining specific procedures will be published and distributed prior to implementation.
The fact that this memo came out shows that signing it and leaving it at the gate doesn't exactly align with current policy. It'll be interesting to see how they change the FDRA.

USair signs theirs via ACARS, and their technology makes ours look ultramodern.

My military buddies that have applied have not received the apply at Endevor email. So I am not sure what keyed the guys you have talked with to get that email. One thought is they did not have current flight time. If they flew a desk the last few years that could be a reason, but in am not sure.

If they are "extremely qualified" there is more to the story.
