First off, only 4 of the initial 60 even applied for the SSP, also, the quality of the applications beyond that is in serious question. Things like Job history since high school and logbook currency, or skipping certain questions were brought up as factors. BW said Delta is looking at expanding the SSP program to new hires and they need it to be a success to attract new hires to come to Endeavor. It's not a typical "your job to lose interview", you must prove yourself.
Personally, I'm hoping the first 500 or so pilots are not taking this SSP seriously and it moves up the list quickly....;-)
Is that really so surprising? I'd expect the super senior guys to pass or half heartedly fill out the app. I'd don't care what regional applying to what major. I'm sure beyond that batch things will change.
