Delta self funds it's health insurance, UHC just administers. Disability pays more than retirement and the medical allows them to see things that they could not legally ask otherwise.
If the medical exam goes away, from any career position, it would be a false savings.

During the physical, do they still do the stress EKG on the treadmill? When I went through the process, we were waiting our turn to get on the treadmill, and watching the guys in front of us. The guy next to me was a smoker.
As we watched the guy on the treadmill huffing and puffing for about 5 minutes, he said, "Phuck me, there's no way I'm going to be able to do that!"
He was not "fat" but he did smoke.
Never saw him again. So it may be the physical that weeds out 'fat guys', not so much the fat guys sitting across the table!
Luckily for me, I was running 6 miles a day at that time, so I had no worries there. But as Bar points out, it's too easy to gain weight if you fly International trips, you eat out of boredom! I put on quite a few lbs. when flying right seat in the MD911. When I finally decided to lose it, I just simply stopped eating anything but salads on the airplane, (no dressing, just lemon juice) spent more time in the gym and on my bike, and was able to drop 20lbs. in about 6mo.
I've got to go ride my bike now, you all have fun with the pancakes!

One of the roundest Delta Pilots I've seen in many years is our VP of Flt. Ops! If you're well fed, maybe you'll get lucky and have him for your interview.
But there's also a 64 1/2 yr. old LCA on the 777 who looks like he'd do well in an MMA cage match and will kick my butt in the weight room every day! Just hope you don't see him!

Delta Air Lines Management is having a hard time understanding why attrition continues to be so high at Endeavor because of the SSP program. They like it, and believe it's going to bring a lot of Endeavor pilots to Delta Air Lines. I am willing to bet, over 90% of pilots interviewed will get hired.

What are the eye standards. I'm 47 and I'm starting to need cheater glasses. I'm wondering if this might be an issue

How would you logically think that rate is going to change given that it is the same thing and graded the same? Logically continuing from that, given the concentration of those stuck at the top of the seniority list, it would be much more likely to have a significantly lower pass rate.
