Asiana Crash KTVU-TV Report: Airline Says TV Station Damaged Its Reputation (VIDEO)
Apparently this report is damaging Asiana's reputation, not the fact that one of their B777's crashed landed.

Most senior is in the 5,380 range, then they begin to sprinkle in at around 8,000. 75% are senior to any 2007 Delta hires.

On the Delta Hiring thread I'm told 300 of 400 Compass pilots are guaranteed class spots, and 100 are guaranteed interviews.
I was lead to believe it was for interviews only when I read: "As you know, we have flow-up provisions in place with Compass and Mesaba Airlines, and an agreement with pilots at Endeavour Air-- that’s Pinnacle’s new name -- which guarantees an interview"
So skip the Delta interview? Nice.

Empty. And my understanding is in AirTran and not Delta paint. That'd be funny. "Delta 9230 in AirTran colors" or however that works.
Did anyone save that crew planning news memo? I want to see what it had said.
Given the timing of the new bodies, the unfilled 717 slots will be slated for newbies and displacements to "fund" positions will slow to a trickle or cease. It was just illogical on the latest crew planning news that they could even think of "funding" the 717 slots with continued displacements.

I don't think that they can skip the interview.
Do realize they are our alter ego and they fly Delta passengers every day. Hiring them is ministerial.
Since we allow multiple standards in our contracts it is common sense that management is eager to advantage themselves to the less costly standard. In the past Delta pilots have insisted on industry leading pay based on the belief that Delta's selection process made us worth it. IMHO the Pinnacle bridge agreement was designed to demonstrate pilots who value their own skills much less than their peers are Delta pilot material.
Nearly every regional airline management is using the Pinnacle Bridge Agreement to justify concessions to remain competitive.

This was based on 100 new hires a month in 2014...
