Unity before bigotry. Those Pinnacle pilots are already flying Delta pax.
I think the stats were less than about 4 percent of applicants made it through the process from application (over 12, 500 to the number off probation in the last ten years) if you back out internal hires and transfers. That meant precisely nothing in the mergers Delta has done...
Also, because 9E doesn't have any hiring standards. A pulse and a willingness to show up to class is all that is needed. In some cases, an interview wasn't even necessary, certain colleges had programs where the graduates got class dates without interviews. Delta would like to have a little higher of a standard than that. I'm against flows because it doesn't give an airline a chance to vet through the bad personalities, the guys who make this job harder than it has to be and are just plain annoying to fly with. Ask yourself, you know who these guys are, would you really want them at Delta.
