Many there are great, but there are some absolute crazies. It behooves the brand greatly to screen them and weed out the ones that shouldn't have been flying DL pax in the first place.

P.S. Can you upchannel that I'm not an absolute crazy?
No? Thought I'd ask anyways.

Doesn't this open up whole legal can of worms for those that were not worthy of a second set of buttons, but fail to fall under Admiral Lee's deal? I mean there were plenty of people who didn't pass the interview and were told they weren't welcome on Delta Air Lines property again, but just because you work for Pinnacledeavor you get to reinterview? If this is true, I see a possible issue with it.

After a 45 min flight I usually have a good idea if I'm flying with Captain Crazy or not.

Thus the personality component, the preference for advanced degrees and people active in their communities, and so on.
I know Dr. Janus passed away a long time ago, but are interviewees still going to have to take that MNPS test and talk to a shrink during the process?
Q. Do you still beat your wife?
1. Yes
2. Not any more
How do you answer that one?? 1 or 2?

Let's face it the 9E guys are getting the interview because they agreed to massive concessions. Individuals qualifications have no bearing. 9E guys are no worse nor better than any other regional group out there, they just happened to be in a position to make a deal that benefitted them.
