Certainly a wreck won’t help, nor checkride busts or traffic tickets.

If you know someone there (any pilot), they will pull your app manually at his request.Originally Posted by Hrkdrivr
This is a valid concern. I don’t know about other companies, but Delta doesn’t use a computer to screen applications before a human looks at them. If an app is pulled, a human reads and scores it.

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.
