At the time I was hired there wasn't much going on - USAir hiring only LPP's, Piedmont hiring limited numbers (wouldn't even send me an application), and Northwest Orient. That was IT. I had friends with top-notch resumes that couldn't even get an interview. I was LUCKY, as are most of us who are here at DAL (and any other "legacy" carrier.) Over my career I have worked with many great pilots and many who could be the poster child for failed pre-employment screening. Nobody is SPECIAL because they were hired at Delta (or any legacy for that matter.) They are all QUALIFIED, CONNECTED, and/or LUCKY, not necessarily in that order. Compass did not hire just anybody who submitted an application. NWA was very involved in the hiring process. I have no problem with the flow as it was set up, and I welcome those flow pilots. They have "paid their dues."

+1. Well said.

Thank you. Honestly, I doubted CPZ had taken the same test. I presumed there just wasn't much likelihood that both hiring departments used the same process. My doubt was in regard to the claim of having had the same, or a highly equivalent interview. Said doubt should not be inferred by some to mean "the" Delta interview is the most rigorous known to aviation professionals.

My "incompetent, greedy, and lazy" remark was directed towards ALPA, not the company. The company's job is to try to screw us. ALPA's job is to prevent it from happening. One is succeeding. The other is boarding the failboat.

good day,

Crew planning is getting a bit more desperate in their attempts to fund the narrowbody categories.

Shake n Bake's on :)

Glee was originally funny, my wife liked it. I thought it was hilarious the cheerleaders were in their cheerleading outfits no matter what they were doing. They could be doing yard work and would still be in cheerleading outfits. Even when in a hot tub.

Then the show got stupid and then jumped the shark and flew off the cliff into the deep end. And that was a few years ago.

But at least one of their hot cheerleaders showed good taste
