To say the guaranteed interview is worthless is inaccurate. I and many at endeavor who were not being called by UAL, or AA, or even Jet Blue interviewed at DAL thought the "guaranteed interview" and were hired. So "worthless" is inaccurate. Im not saying that the guaranteed interview is a guaranteed job by any means as the pass rate is around 50-60% percent, but it into worthless.

I sure hope DAL and 9E can work on a more defined path in the future. If Delta is truly impressed with the work of Endeavor pilots as Ed Bastian has expressed, there should be an easier path.
