And let's not forget the hundreds of pilots who were hired right before 9/11 and the '08 recession and then never got their job when the airline started hiring again. This was true even though they passed the interview and were in the pool waiting for their class.
They don't give seniority numbers to the EtD guys because they would fall under the mainline union CBA.
The difference between someone with a CJO that didn't get the call back, and an EtD candidate is the agreement between the candidate, and Delta. EtD's have in writing that they don't have to re-interview, whereas the others did not.
