Good for them. Delta can't hire every pilot with qualifications like that. We have a limited need and capacity. Plenty more for years into the future where they are coming from. I have written letters for 6 guys who have great quals. Not one called yet. Maybe I am the kiss of death. The new hires I have flown with have with only one exception been outstanding.
