They are typically reactive not proactive.

There is a philosophical difference between AA and Delta when it comes to staffing for the upcoming massive retirements. AA has chosen the more cost effective way with a flow program. Yes, flows have interviewed but you cannot equate a WO regional interview with any mainline interview. They are in two different worlds. Delta, on the other hand, still believes they can afford to be selective and therefore wants to keep their tried and true method of holding the 2 day interview process for off the street and the 1 day for SSP interviews. How this philosophy can be twisted into condescending remarks about the pilot group is beyond me.

As many people have stated, the people that weren't hired through SSP gave Delta reason(s) for not hiring them. It always falls on the applicant. Try to blame the process all you want but Delta invites everyone to campus to interview with the intention to hire them. If applicants don't meet the minimum score then they don't get the CJO. It really can't be more simple.

I'm sorry to hear you have Delta last on your list. But given your rather irrational criticism of the company, its decisions, and its pilot group, it's probably for the best.
