You say that like every person that gets an interview is hired.

Then our 5000 hr sic candidate will upgrade, and then get called within a few years after that and will have their opportunity to answer that question.

Anyways, two individuals at my DL interview had zero PIC time, ZERO. You may be correct, as I was only questioned on my own “experiences that have brought you to this table”. But I’d say some smoke is being blown here.
Oh btw one of those zero TPIC time pilots was from SkyWest, zero mil time.

It’s my understanding DL LOVES seeing multiple type ratings. Yes, PIC time should give you more of an opportunity at receiving an interview invite. Have both PIC and multiple type’s, even better.
But recently they were picking off individuals left and right who played the right seat regional to right seat ULCC game. I flew with a check airman just prior to COVID who actually made some remarks with how successful those specific individuals were having in training, compared to individuals who had to move back to the right seat from the left.
This is my opinion, but DL will conduct an audit on new hires if they haven’t already, and I can promise they’ll adjust. So don’t assume it’s just going to be all about PIC time as it was in the past.
