With that logic, they were ready when they had 250 hours flying Continental passengers in a Beech 1900. They were not even getting paid to do that. They should have skipped Pinnacle and gone straight to Continental or United now.

Do you really think a 45 min interview will flush out the crazies?

Looks like hiring will ramp up sooner vs later. FWIW, I spoke with the CP and 9E SSP candidates will NOT be required to have a BA and any previous 9E pilots who previously interviewed but didn't get the thumbs up: you WILL be able to participate in the SSP, so brush up on whatever held you back the first time....you're about to get a mulligan
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.

I hope your hiring board feels that way too. Let's face it, most anyone qualified for the interview is going to know how to fly passengers from point A to point B. I've always had the impression that Delta is looking for people that have a level of well-roundedness that goes beyond the mechanics of flying an airplane. 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.
