We will still hire former military Pilots - Why do yo think the DCI percentage was set at 35%? As Buzz mentioned the military pool is getting smaller, although I would not say drying up.
Not to come across as liking this whole flow through, because I dont. I definitely don't like a guaranted job, but have no issues with a guaranteed interview. Lets let the dust settle before we march on the village with pitchforks and torches.
Besides, who is to say the Pinnacle guys will even pass their TA?

People who are not eligible to reinterview due to previously failing the HR portion will now (if this passes) be given a second and potentially third chance. That was what was pointed out. All this while pilots from other airlines/backgrounds that failed it will never be given the second chance.
Regardless, I'm glad that they have the screening process and are holding them to the DL requirements. That was my minimum for not going all pitchforks and torches on it.
The DCI 35% quota was done due to the pain that the TA was going to cause at the regionals. That pain has transpired. Now the 9E MEC has gone around DALPA and negotiated this outside of our section 1.
As far as it passing... As a junior FO I could see voting yes due to the impending furlough and benefits for furloughs. As a mid range CA... not a chance. Anyone without a degree has little reason to vote yes either... So, we'll see.
