Wonder how many people who end up in the pool for 6+ months last and come to work for us?
How many start at Delta, American, FedEx, UPS or SouthWest?
Yes, we should interview and have a pool.
No, the process shouldn't take 9 months or longer.. in the current environment.
Just my opinion.

PS> I will add that 6+ months might be ok for a Military guy who will be separating in the future. But for (almost) anyone else?!
He's got an interview at DL as well, although UAL is his first choice. He's going to do the DL interview and see how it goes, then make a decision when the time comes. He's fortunate to have a very good paying job overseas right now so he's not bothered by an extra month or two wait. Both DL and AA have had 6-12 month waits for class in the past year or two, so it's all a bit of luck and timing.
