Anyone know? It's almost the only thing I was excited about in the TA, I'm gonna be so irked if it doesn't happen rapidly
Thanks!

I also think the last thing newhires want is something that causes bean-counters to view them as being proportionately more expensive than they are now. You essentially want Delta to be thrilled with the relatively low cost of newhires, and bring on as many as possible.
I know we all assume the number of newhires is fixed, and the company will pick the minimum, but I wouldn't be surprised if they add up total costs and somehow decide to get less than the minimum. One of the reasons I think tiny costs influence those decisions is the fact they ask whether you need hotel rooms in trianing while you fill out AE preferences. Part of me supsects that this is a factor in tweaking backfill awards.
Your heart is in the right place, but I think this is a case where good intentions might actually backfire for the intended recipient.
