A close friend of mine applied at UA a few years ago. He wanted them in the worst way. I attended a UA job fare with him. It was obvious not even the UA hiring department knows their "algorithm".
He finally gave up on UA and got hired by Delta. It now appears that was the better choice all along. FWIW. He graduated summa cum laude from a respected university. He flew for an express carrier for several years before going to DL.

If they're so particular about who they hire, especially when so much of that is the person and not just the numbers on the resume, then wouldn't it make sense to weigh the recommendation of those hand selected people a little more than just a blind app pull/score?

I'll be working on revamping the application. If anything pans out from it, we'll see. Can any of you suggest a good resume/application reviewing company?

My GPA is not stellar. My original app was torn apart by Checked and Set and I rebuilt it. I have an interview! (fingers crossed!)

At least you know it's coming, just a matter of when.

"We’d like for everyone to list all of their civilian pilot certificates and ratings, except for type ratings, as professional development courses in the education section of AirlineApps. (...) These instructions are not included in the AirlineApps instructions for the since this is a Delta requirement and the education section of the application is generic to all airlines."
