I think Hawaiian does as well, IIRC.

IIRC, you said there around 10-15% of the pilots at your former employer that weren't up to your personal standard. Chances are, that number can't even get through the app, let alone the interview process.

Whenever a pilot on the DAL list that DIDN'T go through the DAL interview process (Flow, NWA, Western, etc) screws something up, do you feel it's YOUR job to start watching them to?

Seriously man, you got the job, you won the race!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! If one that you personally find undesirable makes it through, will that be the end of the DAL hiring standard as we know it? There will ALWAYS be those that get through ANY process that maybe shouldn't have. It's out of YOUR personal control, why fret over it so much?

Chillax and go play with your trains or something man, you're better than worrying about all this crap. Like I said, it'll sort itself out.
You're reaching a bit. Well, actually a lot.

Watching out for those at Pinnacle that deserve the shot and those that should not be given the chance in front of them. They should not have to be junior to someone who didn't bother fulfilling the requirements or have relaxed scoring.

Do non-pilot family members who work for Delta help or just pilots?

True statement. Hawaiian tests you twice! On the second day of the interview, you get the opportunity to take 4 tests. Then, if/when you go out for final Phase III, you get to take 2 more psych/personality tests.

IMO, they then do a compare & contrast to see if you 1) you are too good to be true or 2) you've tried to game the test.

Depends on how one reads your post(s) on the subject. It could be said that you seem overall displeased with it.

And I agree with ALL THAT. Which is why I said let it sort itself out. Do you have inside knowledge that is hasn't thus far?

As far as your last point. That's happened SINCE there's been pilot hiring at a legacies. It can just take on various forms. Always been that way ALWAYS gonna be that way. No sense in feeling "butthurt" over it.

From what I understand it doesn't matter if your family member is a pilot or not.

I'm not particularly religious, but I respect others' right to their choices without mocking the most sacred tenets.
PC? Nope. Just respectful.

Delta HR has now said the 4 year degree is no longer a requirement of the Endeavor SSP. So I was wrong a few pages back.
