But at least at Delta you won’t be eliminated from consideration by a computer if you mark “yes” to any of the questions asking about negative aspects of your career (which most of us have in our past by the time we’re competitive for the majors).
If you know someone there (any pilot), they will pull your app manually at his request.

If you don't know anyone, the apps get manually reviewed when your score gets high enough relative to all the other applicants in the pile. So yes there's always a manual review, but you also need to score high enough to get looked at. Unless they've changed it recently. Or unless you have a buddy there.

Mishaps will not affect your chances of being hired if a federal board determined that it was not your fault. Having one may actually be a great story to tell at an interview, and be a chance to demonstrate your pilot skills in response to an emergency, act of god, or someone else's error.

IF indeed there were several bounces (as stated by pax) on a 7500ft runway covered in snow and a go around was not executed, I can't see how blame won't go on the crew.

I answered this question, but the mods removed it. Just ask around; It’s exactly what you think. Minus the gender pronouns.

Well nowadays gender pronouns are now zee and vee or whatever else the hell the SJW's are using. Was zee or vee or them flying the aircraft?

Depends on who you read if it was a runway excursion or a landing on dirt. Pay your penny and take your pick:

Reuters says they landed on the grass.

AVherald quotes the FAA as saying the same thing.

Personally I think it's far more likely it was excursion off the pavement, but like I said before I did see a guy try to land in the grass once.

That's ridiculous, no one was saying anything disparaging about the gender of the pilots.

All I asked is whether the CA was flying or the FO.
