It doesn’t have to be difficult. It could be;
total hours, or,
TP hours, or
Jet hours, or
PIC hours, or
experience on similar type of aircraft / region, or
Licence type, or
other aviation quals (instructor etc), or,
other non aviation quals
It’s very easy to order a list of CVs. Airlines have been doing it for years.
You need X people, you have Y applicants. Take Z candidates forward.
For 20 slots, you might only interview 35. Airlines should not waste their time, or the candidates, interviewing way more people than they need.
