When you see the caliber of people who are called (used to be called) to interview at Delta and they only hire 2 out of 15 it makes you wonder if having an ex NWA pilot on the hiring board provides the same kind of selection.
Delta connection is an outsourcing of the brand, nothing else needs to be said.

I wonder if this is because Delta pilots went through Delta interviews?

Maybe for 'old school' mainline pilots who have come up through the military, it is hard seeing someone with no combat time under their belt be-bop through the terminal with all the trappings of SJS...But for the younger generation, we are looking for our chance at a decent career as well---- Just having paid our dues in different ways; check hauling, flight instructing, aerial surveying, and yes, for some, the big dollar aviation universities.
Interesting how the "us versus them" mentality permeates human culture.

I know many great DAL guys......but I know many more that are complete toolbags.
Of course, YMMV.....

No attitude, just trying to explain how people feel about no interviews.

That attitude reminds me of the caste system in India. Once you are "born" into part 121 as a regional pilot, some mainline pilots seem to view regional pilots as underlings unable to hack it at X mainline.

Pass the interview and get hired like everyone else.. What is so hard to understand and so discriminative about that?
I am just saying that people can't believe we get pilots in without Delta selection. Someone asked and I answered, is that ok with you?
We have very few jerks because of phsyco eval. And yes, once a person is hired it is impossible to fire him for being a jerk.
I apologize if I offended anyone.
I have been around 4 airlines and I think that strict selection is a key to having a great career because you are working with good people.
PS. I don't know what YMMV means. I am sure something very nice?

So you call me a toolbag? Because I tell it how it is?

Also you and me both know there are ways to fire people after they are on property (not to mention the probation period). If they can't hack it they will be dealt with accordingly.
