A good point was made that most of us would not have gotten this opportunity this soon or at all. Personally, I have no issue waiting my turn should I get a CJO.
I can see how people are confused, but the SSP/hiring commitment is a metering program for management. It came from management, not the union. According to Delta's hiring policies, without the SSP, they would have to interview all the 9E pilots that applied, and take them before anyone off the street. Delta selects employee's for interview in this order: Internal Delta - Delta subsidiaries - off the street.
