There were a set of emails last year that explained it but the best shot the union came up with was a system of gates (or hoops whatever you'd like to call them) that once passed would allow pilots to advance to Delta. The goal was figure out what Delta thinks is the value of their interview process; for example maybe it values community service, if that's the case then the gate could be; completed 500 hours of community service (or some number). Once you passed all the gates then you'd advance to Delta. Unfortunately the union proposed that type of merit based advancement to Delta management and didn't get a positive reaction. So I think at this point the lanyard campaign is intended to bring Delta management to the table to try to figure out some kind (any kind) of guaranteed contractual career progression.

But that's just one pilot's interpretation of what we've been told by the union up to this point, I could be completely off base.
