Deal with it. The shrink process has done a great job overall weeding out 99% of the crazies. Unfortunately a few good ones have gotten passed over, too... but no process is perfect.

Can I spend 4 days with this guy...?
That is EXACTLY what the psych eval is about.
Are you tolerable, are you a "Normal Person" or do you have issues?
It's not about qualifications, any moron can fly an airplane and a lot of them do. The Shrink is there to keep the real problem children out, and he's doing a great job. In 28 years, I can honestly say, there was only one guy I've flown with who had issues...but he might have been going through a divorce, so I bought his beer and let it go. 99.9% of the guys I fly with are great guys to fly with, hang out with, etc. So, what ever the shrink is doing, he's doing it well.

You're missing the point. Timbo is 100% correct. It doesn't really matter who you find fun to fly with. If you are fortunate enough to get an interview, the testing and interview are just part of the deal. You'll have to pass the shrink or you are toast. If that doesn't meet your expectations, apply elsewhere. Those of us that are here went through it. Timbo's right. It works. 99.9% of the guys I fly with are great dudes.

Hate to break it too you, but since I was born in 1972 and started flying at age 16, I can't relate to the 28 years. But, since I've been flying professionally since 1998 in the military/civilian 99.9% of the the guys/gals I've flown with are great guys/gals. Didn't need a shrink........
And, frankly, who are you to tell Delta how to hire pilots? That, in and of itself, is a flag. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of your shrink session.

Didn't need a shrink........Don't forget, it's a two way streak......you may be the tool of the crew........it takes two to tango....and no shrink involved....

Sorry, I only had a B in English/Grammar....Once again, I'm not against Delta and it's shrink, I was just simply stating the way it is. Why the hostility towards someone stating the obvious? Are you a bit defensive? Why be defensive? There is no reason to be, I'm not against what Delta does, just making an observation.
