If you wait for your number to flow up, an informal face meeting with HR and a hand shake gets you hired at DAL as long as you have your college degree and your first class medical.
We were told the same thing today in recurrent. No restrictins the order of priority for delta hiring is as follows per mec meeting between moak and dci carrier mecs.
1) compass 20
2) mesaba 9
3) other dci carriers (asa, pinnacle, etc. Notice comair is missing apparently there was the mntion by the comair mec that they have no pilot F'ing pilots that want to fly at delta) I had no idea things were this bad between the comair and delta mec's.
4) off the street hiring... all pilots at dci carriers will be interviewed based on qualifications, regardless of being at a dci carrier..
