My guess is that Delta doesn't like prospective pilots waiting until the last
day to apply and this is the result. It is way lower than the average. How
many were told to interview again in 6 month's?
The average is around 60% hire rate of SSP pilots that interviewed at Delta.
While some current SSPers are last minute, many are first time interviewees that are at the bottom of the SSP eligible list and have been patiently and eagerly waiting their turn. I know many worked really hard to prepare and still got the no. While I have some theories as to why the low pass rate may be happening more today than with the first groups of FOs, I will not voice many them here. But, back to the last minute guys. Wychor asked me personally why I waited so long for the SSP and seemed surprised when I said that it was my earliest opportunity. Could it be that that is how these last groups are being viewed regardless of it being there first opportunity? Who knows except those doing the vetting of us.
