Unfortunately this is true. Recruiter was pretty quick to tell me " you know you have an interview". I questioned him (arnie) about possibly jumping ahead and doing the full interview, his response was basically - your union will notify you of any possible progressions in the bridge agreement...what a joke...
I only know of one guy in that type of job with the name arnie, that would be Captain Arnie Kraby. In 07/08 he was the head of the hiring and the office you went into to be told by him if you were hired or not. Who else was with him at WIA?

Not sure about the other recruiters. Arnie was who I talked to.

I think there are a few voluntary furloughs, not sure if they were canceled. There are a good handful of guys on long term leave, but the company pulled the plug a few months back. There have been a few days of premium pay and most if not all drops and swaps are denied due to staffing. This summer should be fun.

This gentlemen Arnie seems to have put a nail in that supposed "fact."
Any current 9E FO should be livid at what they were fed about the SSP interview program to get this whole TA/deal to pass.

Here it is.........................
Q: To be eligible for the SSP, you must be a Captain, correct? Does that mean F/Os will not be eligible?
A: No! First Officers are eligible to be hired by Delta as part of the monthly hiring commitment (that is, one third of the overall monthly commitment) outside of the SSP, so First Officers directly stand to benefit from the Bridge Agreement and will not have to wait until all Captains have been considered.
All pilots on the seniority list at the time of ratification will be entitled to an interview under the SSP. To be eligible to attend that interview under the SSP, you must be, or have been, a Captain at Pinnacle (or on leave holding a Captain position) at the time of your selection. As Pinnacle Captains move on to Delta, that will create upgrade opportunities for current First Officers to upgrade to Captain and become eligible for the seniority-based SSP.
As noted above, in addition to the hiring that will take place under the SSP, Delta has reserved the right to hire 1/3 of the monthly commitment from Pinnacle outside of seniority order, so current First Officers will be hired without having to wait to be eligible for the SSP.
*******************************************
You gotta like the No! with an exclamation point. As if, they really wanted to highlight this to the FOs so they would vote yes.

People didn't vote for this because of the bridge, they voted for it because they wanted to keep their jobs. Also, if you re-read the last sentence you just posted, Delta can hire 1/3 of the required Pinnacle pilots outside of the bridge (and these can be FOs). An FO has a much better chance of being hired from Pinnacle than from any other company, how are FO's at any other companies going to get hired at Delta?
