You have to be in the area from sign in until 6 hours after. I called about it as I had gotten my second passport at the local passport agency and they punched holes in my current 2 year pass port. They assured me that my visa was still good. In checking with the company they said I couldn't use a visa in an invalid passport. The trip was assigned to a reserve.

I put this in the wrong spot. Meant for it here.

Mesabah might not be so far off. What if you were told that Delta now cares that not enough can pass the tests to entice pilots to go to Endeavor? That the SSP might be revamped to say that all tests of Endeavor pilots will be stopped that they are failing. Like eliminating all cog and aviation knowledge tests. Eliminate all mmpi questions and in regards to the panel, lowering the required score for Endeavor pilots?

Interesting rumor.

I think the company is right, the passport has to be good. Once the 6 hours is past if you were not assigned a trip you are free to WS or GS. They are a bit short at the moment so might be a good deal for you. Couple of out of base GS's yesterday.
I know someone who sent the stuff in to CIBET and they punched holes in his primary passport. Nice little vacation for him!

My personal opinion is that Delta has not thought this one through. I had a flight delayed for no other reason than the Captain had failed his Delta interview. (He made it lound and clear to his FO while in the gate area) Now he is back at Endeavor and not happy about it. Why would he be happy he knows that he won't go to mainline so his choices are go to another major or stay at Endeavor.

I think there should be one standard, if Endeavor pilots don't have to have a 4 year degree to interview then no one should. If they get rid of the tests then it should be straight across the board.

Sounds like Delta made the right decision about him.

That's why I get my second passport on my own. I don't want to send the primary off. They assigned me LHR today.

There needs to be a level playing field. Whether I get hired or not..... I'd want to be selected through the same process as everyone else. If I don't make the cut in the selection process then so be it. But, making the cut because of a lowered requirement is NOT what I would want.

How do you figure the 100 hours in 672. Do you use the block time off the rotations or is it the total credit time for the rotation. Is there an easy way to track this. thanks
