There is no predetermined number of pilots needed from any interview session. No quotas, no minimum number, no maximum number. Candidates are not competing against each other. If all pilots make the cut, then 100% are passed on to phase 2. If none of them do, then 0% would be passed through. When the individual interview teams turn in their results, the total is tallied. Sometimes an interview team passes all of them on, sometimes less, it just depends on the candidates themselves. The reality is that on any given interview session usually 67%-78% make it to phase 2, at least these are the numbers I have heard over time. It just works out that way, time after time. I don't know what the latest session's tally was, but I would guess it is in this range.
