What is the MMPI?

My shrink session took about 45 minutes or so, and included a lot of TMAAT questions, more so than during the panel interview on Day 1, which included more WWYD-type questions. Most folks make it through the MMPI without any issues, but a small number end up being flagged for a Psych Review Board. That said, I'm not aware of too many folks not ultimately being cleared by the Psych Board. 1 of 4 in my interview group was flagged, but he was cleared and we'll all be starting Indoc soon.
So why in the world would this test be eliminated for the SSP guys? Seems like a pretty important thing to know about a pilot!

But would they not have have faced that SAME liability with a pilot coming from a wholly owned pre 9/11?
After all, the SSP is a guaranteed interview ONLY, NOT a guaranteed job.
There's a crap ton of avenues one could go down as far as "being responsible". Especially as it relates to pilots whoever aren't going through the full process.
The way the whole thing has panned out is interesting for sure.

The pool should be pretty close to empty by now. People who we're waiting for July - November classes have already been informed of earlier class dates including the May 19 to June 16 classes.
Delta originally wanted roughly 350-450 pilots for year of 2014. Now it has increased to roughly 800-900.
Reportedly for the next two months it's supposed to be 100 hires. Beginning in August 72 hires per month for the remaining of the year.
The goal is to send pilots straight to training without a pool. Also after the offer on the spot the push is for 2-3 weeks before class starts.
Some of the information may be off but it came from a good source.

I understand that it's a bit of my having my cake and eating it too....but I'm just stating my goal!
Its nice to have goals. In this current environment, your goal is achievable
. However, if this environment changes be prepared to be an ATL pilot 
. Think about it and good luck.TEN
