I am pretty confident that you are mistaken. Copied from Part 2 of union update.
Delta has indicated that they are more interested in a "defined opportunity" than a "defined pathway" and on that front they would extend an additional opportunity to the former SSP Pilots (as well as SSP-eligible Pilots who did not participate) by granting them an additional point during the DGI interview process. Delta has indicated that this additional point will make a material difference in the success of the candidate. We don't know if an additional point will make a difference since we are not privy to the scoring program associated with the interview, and Delta has not been willing to provide further details. In addition to the "point" Delta has also committed to allowing pilots previously eligible for the SSP to redo only the portion of the interview they were previously unsuccessful in. While we can appreciate that this move may result in Endeavor pilots having greater interview success, we expressed to Delta the program still does not meet our goal of guaranteed and contractual Career Progression. To be clear, while we do not object to measures that will enhance our pilots' success, we are committed to working diligently towards a model that serves our entire pilot group and the long term interests of both parties.
