Hopefully just an average pilot, with an average wife and with average kids that leads an average life that comes to work, does a good job and has fun. Come to think of it, that sounds like the majority of guys I have flown with over the last 17 years.
I never knew there were so many superstars in the airline industry. Just how many line check airmen, chief pilots, astronauts and military guys are left to hire?

For my own education here: I have searched this thread and see multiple references to Delta tier 1/2/3 applicants, but little concretely defining them.
I did attend WAI last year and the Delta presentation there and remember many (but not all) of the criteria Delta prefers, but really cannot remember any mention there of the 'tier' system. Does that system really exist, or is it something invented on APC? If it really does exist, any pointers on figuring out where you fall?
