we've had an unprecedented amount of training reviews and people being put in STT. Over 140 so far, numbers we've never seen here at delta. Something is wrong. We first thought maybe the training program needed a scrub, so we did, it turns out we are right where we want to be with it (lots of external stake holders demand efficiency in the training programs). So next it came down to looking at the demographics of those that were having training difficulties. It became obvious. This was fed back to hiring. There is a feedback loop from training/standards back to the hiring teams. Not sure where it goes from here. Perhaps that is why the numbers of CJOs are going down? IDK, I'm not in hiring anymore.

It sounds like you’ve got a great head on your shoulders and that’s half the battle. Experience isn’t replaceable, but it is what it is and doesn’t mean you’re a lesser pilot! You are what you make of yourself. Welcome to Delta and you belong here!
Experience can make up for a lot. But if you're an ***, don't be one here. otherwise you're going to struggle .

The U3 have really got the attention of a lot of people for sure.
