This is not exactly what I said @2036 yesterday. I said that you “might” get an interview ~ “the foot in the door” concept.
That might only occur if the ATO recommends you. Or, an airline might say that want ‘X’ new pilots and will assess ‘Y’ of your customers.
They may even say to the ATO to select those for interview who meet our criteria based on good exam marks etc. It can be as broad as it is long as to what the individual airline specify.
FLYBE historically set the bar at 90% average exam mark. I know one student who averaged 89.6%. FLYBE said NO !
Somewhat harsh I thought?
