Global = Global Hawk?
If so, how many of your hours? From indoc class last week, straight from the CP: "I don't think we'll ever consider drone pilots."* If your TT and/or IP times minus RPA time are not competitive, then perhaps you did end up in the unqualified stack. Also, which is most recent? If you're currently/most recently flying RPAs, then your flight currency (i.e., lack thereof) could be at issue.
Of course, this could also be the case that many, many others have made here that there's a tall stack of apps being waded through right now. Other than sitting in the room last week and hearing the CP make that statement, I have no insight into how folks are selected to interview. I have no opinion on whether excluding RPA time is "right" or "wrong," just that it is evidently the policy at DAL.
*I'm pretty sure the intent was that drone hours/experience are excluded from consideration of pilot hours/experience, not that anyone who has ever flown an RPA is unhireable.

I was asking about the tiers cause I must have got tossed in the junk mail. I was just really excited I got the message to fix something and then crickets……..

So how does a new hire convince the company to send them on a familiarization flight on an airplane theyre not going to fly? Would love to see the flight deck of the 777 and see how that compared to the -400, I hear its a lot more room for the pilots up front but a lot less comfort for IRO seat / jumpseats.

The jumpseats may not be quite as comfortable as the 767-400, (in my opinion none are comfortable) but there is more room. Luckily the J/S is only occupied for T/O and Landing if you've got more than two crew.
There are two lie down bunks and reclining chairs upstairs for Pilot crew rest, and 8 more bunks in the back for F/A crew rest.
Tell the company you need to see what you're missing, to keep you motivated!

At DL South, the -400 means 767.
Stupid me...
