Actually pretty much every airline these days employs significant amounts of "targeted selection". The OP asked about getting hired at DL. A large part of that is fitting in. What you call a "derailment" is actually one of the better answers to the question than you give it credit for.

C-21 then C-5 guy who separated Jul 2010. I submitted my application via airline apps with absolutely no known affiliates at Delta. Everyone I know flies for SWA. I got an email in Jun 2010 and was in an interview on terminal leave. It can be done!!

Military has a much higher likelihood to get an interview without a rec. I only know of person on the civilian side that got an interview without one. (I'm sure there are others, though)

How is "fitting in" and "targeted selection" the same? Not every 28-35 year old Regional Line Check Airman with 1250-2500 TPIC and an aeronautically oriented masters degree has the same personality. The math no longer adds up in the airline's favor for pilots with 12 letters of recommendation claiming their buddy from their Crashpad is a "good guy".

I just don't like anyone thinking that Delta is the walk on JV squad...
