True, but UAL also has a CP meet and greet (as far as I know they still do) which I assume has limits on how many people you can "walk in" so to speak. JB has/had a "blue dart" F9 has/had a "silver bullet" etc. While I don't think we should return to the days of knowing/having access to one particular person (even though he was a really cool person) as being the only way for a non connected, non Space Shuttle Door Gunner pilot to have a chance, I would like to see a little more weight attached to a limited number of (even if its just one) pilot recommendations. 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?

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.

Guess I better quit then and tell the other 4 from my class they’re not liked either. I’m crushed. I think the bigger factor is your qualifications and training are a bit of an unknown. Maybe try to accentuate your leadership skills or any other personality traits that would make you a pilot Delta wants. Delta can train you to fly an airliner but they can’t train away a personality problem.

Just on a side note. C&S had me list every single tho rating (4) individually under education as "Professional Development", even ones obtained from the regionals. Did they have you do the same? I thought it was a little wierd and excessive, but did as told.

It is actually a Delta requirement. The 'Delta Air Lines Pilot Recruiting' page on facebook has a post talking about this.
