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?

Quick question for the group. I have heard a lot about internal recs getting the app pulled to be scored. Should an applicant publish the app before all the internal recs go through airline apps or just publish and update once the internals are submitted? Thanks!

I've had my application in for a couple years now with general qualifications. A couple months ago I became a line check airman and updated my application to reflect this. My last internal recommendation (sent to the email address) was made a month before becoming a line check airman. Is there a way to get my application re-scored capturing my latest position or do I need to wait a year to have someone submit a recommendation again?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Someone told me recently that if there is a significant change to your app then someone can send another email in highlighting those changes and get it scored again. That was hearsay so take it with a grain of salt.

It's my understanding that there are actually 4 Tier's. Your app can score from 1 to 100 and every 25 points is a Tier. Rumor is they will never call anyone in Tier 4. When they score the app they don't take points away from your overall score but look for things to give you points towards your overall score.

Make sure the app is absolutely 100% ready and published before they send in the rec. Don't rush to get it done. Do it right because of the 1-per-year rec/score. Lots of rumors about how to get multiple scores, but if you have a 100% app on the first time, it won't need to test that theory.

And, do you know if there is an unwritten suggested maximum frequency of a current pilot sending in a recommendation for applicants?
One rec a year? One rec every six months? One a month? Obviously one would not want to dilute the meaning of their recommendations, but I'm sure many can also think of more than just one or two people to recommend, and if they all meet the competitive interview minimums, then . . . ?
