But....I would respectfully disagree with the suggestion people not pay attention to the spreadsheet or the rumors. When I was waiting on my background check I called in February to check on it and was basically told "no news is good news, you'll be later in the year and don't call us back until the summer". Had I done that I wouldn't have been able to get out of my current job in time to get the class date I do have.

Like I said, this is not a slam the hiring people, the process, or Delta. Just passing on what happened to me and telling people that it's their career and to pay attention to what is going on time wise and be prepared. This forum and the spreadsheet are two pieces of information that helped my timeline a lot as I transitioned from one job to the next.
