How long ago was this? Today, I find this tough to believe. Wouldn't that be an automatic loss in a discriminatory hiring practices lawsuit?

So I've heard that when a pilot applicant has an internal pilot recommendation, his application is pulled from the pile and scored. Is this true? Does it make a difference if one of your recommendations is the Chief Pilot of one of the Delta bases? What would a recruiter do if one of the applicant's recs was a Chief Pilot?

It would be good to have a recommendation from a Delta Chief Pilot but applicants are called in to interview based on their application score.

what exactly is being graded when delta looks at your app? I know they want it to be very clean/neat, do they grade how many number of LOR you have on file? I know United was something like 15 LOR, does the same stand for delta?
