• New preferential pilot interview agreement with Delta.
And no one ever qualified under that in the 2007 and 2010 Delta hiring cycle. You mean Delta gives 9E an interview agreement and then doesn't follow through with it?
Delta didn't own Pinnacle back then. Now that it does, there is an incentive to prune some of the high year folks. And now that some of these high year folks are commuting, it will be easier for them to justify going back to the bottom of a seniority list. Delta gets to cherry pick from the upper half of the seniority list and, assuming there will eventually be hiring here, replace them with zero year guys.
The SSP isn't doing anybody any favors, Delta is cutting costs.
