I suggested an unrestricted flow between 9E and Delta, but flow candidates must have at least three letters of recommendation from current Delta pilots. This would be a better vetting process than the interview/SSP, and get pilots rushing in the door here at 9E. We'll see what happens.
Ok this at least the second time that I've seen you send this message out. I would like to know what you consider going around the FAA 1500 rule. There are already stipulations that can be met and reduce the time down to 1,000 hours but it also requires a bachelor's degree in aviation from an approved school. Delta and/or Pindeavor have no ability to change that.
