There's no reason to believe if they're going to score the most competitive among those DCI pilots that they wouldn't then get interviews. Each interview slot they take is one less available Off the Street (OTS) interview (see non DGI). So if you had hopes to move to Delta OTS outside of the DGI , this significantly reduces the available chances.
Also, for the DGI, you've got to be a Captain here for 18 months, no such requirement for this deal at the other DCI carriers.
Now hopefully, this is indicative of better things to come for us, because it LOOKS like they've significantly reduced the incentive to come here based on the DGI. For the long term, them reducing the benefit of the DGI might cause them to need to sweeten the deal here.
Or maybe it won't.
Only time will tell.
They will be reviewed in senority order, also the apps that already are in the Delta pool. So still not better than DGI, which, is still not better than a flow. Delta invests so much time and resources in coming up with all these complex algorithms, starting from the ramp to delta program, the college to delta, dgi, ssp, now this guaranteed app review, to choose the best pilots, who then go land at the wrong airports. Or line up on the runway with one engine running.
