As the pool gets more shallow the interview pass rate will drop also.
As pointed out in the Endevour threads when the apply the Standards Delta likes to see to in non flying background the applicants pool is very small. If you took a look at those not passing the interview coming from the SSP you will find the resumes would not have been pulled for a interview had they been in the off the street stack. As the off the street applications become weaker as all the majors swing into a massive hiring modes the pass rates will more closely match up.

What I still don't get is the fact that Delta trusts that those they don't "see fit to fly for Delta" can still fly the same passengers on CRJ-900's.

And it wouldn't matter the size of the aircraft, could be a B1900/Metroliner and irony would STILL exist.

Yeah, I agree. It's probably not so much that they don't think they will perform safely as a flight crew member as it is they may just be a pain in the ass as an employee.

But the same point as previously made could apply to pilots that made went through the full interview process, were turned down, and are now working at that airline through merge/acquisition, etc.
Yeah, I get it, the company takes on that point knowing it in the merge/acquisition. Yet the irony still exists. That pilot was STILL deemed to much of a pain in the ass to work with, and now has to be worked with. Or, that pilot would not have even been picked out of the stack in the first place, etc.

Can anybody explain why the most junior 73N ATL lineholder is about the same seniority number as the most junior 717 ATL lineholder? (or is the Aug and Sep sched not typical?) Also, they say they are going to give out what 78 73Ns to new hires? Which is about the same as 717s. I guess I am not seeing how you will be stuck longer as the plug in the 73N.

when 717 guys get sick of 5 legs a day to JAN and HSV, they'll bid in over top of the plug into the 737.
