1. If DAL changes the hiring criteria then none of this matters.
2. If DAL does not change published hiring criteria and the "vault letter" is a hoax, then none of this matters.
If DAL does not change published hiring criteria and the "vault letter" does exist, then a couple of options:
3. If they hire with a different degree criterion, DAL pilots who notice will be peeved.
4. If they do not hire with a reduced degree criterion, the vault letter becomes a bait-and-switch perpetrated against non-degreed pilots to "buy" their votes to approve of the amended agreement. Checkmate DAL management.
Ugly, but this is a fairly effective (albeit ruthless) group of managers as it relates to DCI flying.
