20/20 corrected.

The circle test is a pain! I have 20/15 corrected easily... and that test was obnoxious.

The SSP is practically meaningless without substance and had no or little play in voting.
I agree the SSP is meaningless now, but once it starts showing it's value it will then only have an effect on attrition.

Maybe but it appears that the DAL pilots may not be in favor of it. I am not sure about anything that comes from management. I would rather have something that the DAL want and support. After all it's their company.

The SSP is only an interview. I'll be curious to see if they interview 50 guys a month but take the contractual min. A quarter of the list would be checked off in less than a year. You will have a bunch of disgruntled guys at Endeavor. Most guys aren't banking on it anyways. It's a carrot that can be taken away at anytime. We're just praying the floodgates at AA and UAL will open up. I just hope the flows go so my schedule will get a bit better. Tired of commuting to reserve after 14 years.

We can all guess how the SSP will work but nobody on this board really knows. Time will tell. We all are hoping for the best and expecting the worse.

What's the circle test? Five circles per line/tell which one sticks out?

If I remember right, it's four circles in a diamond configuration, tell which one has a break in it. Those things get pretty tiny. I struggled and only after finishing realized someone before me had left a greasy smudge on the lens. Awesome.

Default Eye test tip

If you are staring at the four circles and they all look the same, try closing your eyes briefly, then look again. One of them will usually "pop out" for just a second before blending back in with the others.

are you guys talking about the depth perception test? We have that for our physicals in the AF. Sometimes you have to sit there for a minute and let your eyes "discover" which one it is. At first you can't tell, but slowly it seems to become more apparent.
