So, as I generally agree with your premise and if I were hiring, I too would also see it as a giant red flag as I see it as a complete lack of work ethic, delta really seems not to care as long as you are buried up to your eyebrows in student loan debt.

I was told by a Delta female pilot that there is no discrimination or preferential treatment with airline hiring. You're wrong.
