7 % pass rate of DLR test is something out of this world, either majority candidates are all dumb or DLR is not relevent. What is the philosophy behind this low pass rate of DLR? is LH really interested in looking for normal professional pilots who flies aeroplane competently or are they looking for top guns from exluftwafe. Lets say that world economy booms in 2004 and rest of the airlines are expanding, will LH still stick to their DLR test with 7% pass rate to meet their expansion rate?

Some of the leading airlines Emirates,Singapore airlines and Cathay all hires multinationals,multi cultural,multi language high caliber pilots and many other airlines around the world are on same path. Non of the above companies use DLR method of screening, however end result is not less than LH if not better.

Airline business involves international inviroments, therefore makes sense to have multi cultural employees. If an old tredition is unproductive then do away with, be flexible in changing inviroment. Time will only tell what is best, just watch.

By the way this message is for LH officials.
