Thanks for the encouragement, but my comments were intended for the "experiment" discussion. In particular, is DL abstaining from interviewing DCI pilots who are not part of a flow or SSP, in lieu of those programs? I'm not asking this specifically because I haven't been called. However, my anecdotal observation, based on mil pilots I personally know flying DCI, and the number of pure mil and mil/121 (all non-DCI) folks I know who have been called, I'm starting to wonder... If there is some statistical significance in this assertion, I think we'd all agree it would be beneficial to be at a non-DCI regional if applying to DL outside of the SSP. Again, just a business strategery (my fav Bushism) question, nevermind the secondary and tertiary implications...

I know my time will come... Just interested in the business aspect of this. I do admit, I have second thoughts about coming to a regional. Although, I really do enjoy the flying, crews, and customers, and I'm learning a lot. QOL is a bear, though, especially coming off AD. My choice to live with...
