I have to differ with your opinion about the SSP "lifers." Ask anyone at Endeavor and you will likely hear a different story. Most of the complete oddballs never even applied for the SSP interview. MANY great quality people with good track records and respect from their peers have been turned down (even with interview prep.) And at least a few got hired that have a lot of us scratching our heads in disbelief.

After those experiences, very grateful to have this job. Especially while having a great breakfast during a 18 hr overnight in YYZ on a 9 leg 25 credit 4 day.

That's a statement full of bigotry that flies in the face of the FAA, Delta, ALPA their air airline's training and checking people, etc .... are you sure that is the point you want to make?
However, if there were "lifers" they would not necessarily have to bid over to Delta (if we were to adopt a System Seniority Number annexation of their list). Sounds like they might not want to. If I were a senior Captain on a familiar jet with a girl friend in Jackson Mississippi (just kidding about the last part).

Again, that's your opinion. I know a few weird ones who have gotten in, and a TON of great ones who didn't (former Mesaba). Unless you know everyone, you can't speak knowledgeably about all of them.

Delta must have substantially changed the interview process, as they weren't very successful at weeding out some of the ExpressJet and PCL crazies from the 2006-2008 timeframe. They seemed to do a good job with the ASA and CMR guys though (about half the new hires during that time).

The pass rate will go up significantly with the group coming up.

Yeah, the old days of bad blood are unfortunate, but becoming history. I do believe the unfriendliness was partially due to management creating an intentional rift. Now that the integration has happened people are realizing there were mostly great people on both sides. And EVERYONE has their share of freaks.
