Well tier 1 does refer to Delta.

My point was...Tier 1 is a dynamic characterization. What is tier 2 today is tier 1 tomorrow. This is why nobody knows what tier 1 is, even hiring. It’s constantly changing. It’s a stupid label.

This is news to me. Are you sure? I was led to believe tier 1 was above a threshold score. Just because they run to tier 1 pool dry, they needn't reclassify tier 2 applications. New tier 1 applicants will continually apply and theoretically get expeditious interviews.

Fair enough but agree to disagree I guess.

I believe each class is made
Up from a few from tier 1, few tier 2
Etc it’s not all the same type of person or we’d Alex know what tier 1 was

So why do you think they would reclassify tiers? All that would do would mean that the previous tier 1 applicants would not be selected as fast.

To Squallrider, there is no quota in classes. The tier system is just the priority list for interview invites.

Looking for some intel

- Expected 1st year earnings (I know its a ballpark number and will vary on base, plane and op)
- Is one eligible for profit sharing in his/her 1st year? That is a huge boost to the first year earnings

Thanks!
